The Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway built in 1960 using equipment from the Nocton Potato Estate railway. It was originally located at Humberston, near Cleethorpes, and operated until 1985. The equipment was removed from storage and used to create a new railway at Skegness which opened on 3 May 2009.[citation needed]
