Exploring the History of Immingham's Railways.
In 1912 the Great Central Railway opened a massive port at Immingham to export coal to the World from the Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire coal fields.
The railway was a key feature of the port to feed in the coal and other produce and still plays a significant role in the port through container traffic, bulk loads such as iron ore for Scunthorpe steel works and the import and processing of crude oil.
