Spring 2023 sees a couple of events that are of interest to railway and history fans. The Preston Model Railway Society’s exhibition is held in March, and The Ribble Steam Railway reopens for the summer season.The Society’s own layout will be at the show. The layout is named Euxton Junction and is based on the West Coast Main Line, just to the south of Preston. This is at a point where the line splits to Wigan or Bolton.
The Ribble Steam Railway will be reopening in spring. The station and museum are located off Chain Caul Way near the Docks. There will be two gala days held, as well as regular weekend running. Before then, two half-term events will take place with a Pirates and Princesses theme and a Superheroes theme.
The museum houses an extensive collection of industrial locomotives. Additionally, the railway operates three Sentinel diesel shunters that are used for bitumen trains. The bitumen trains use the heritage line from Preston Station to the Total Fina Elf plant in Chain Caul Way. A mainline locomotive leaves the tankers at the exchange sidings, off Strand Road. The Sentinel shunters take them the rest of the way.
