High Line No. 5 Appleby Frodingham Steelworks Scunthorpe

Industrial Loco No 5 at rest on the High Level Railway, serving the mighty blast furnaces of Appleby Frodingham Steelworks Scunthorpe 3rd September 2022. Another of the locomotive fleet can be seen with a loading hopper in the distance along this short piece of railway infrastructure. Three out of four of the huge blast furnaces can be clearly seen in the centre of the picture. This photo was taken from one of the brakevans which had been pushed up the incline onto this railway by a diesel locomotive operated by the Appleby Frodingham Railway Preservation Society who have a presence on the Steel Works site. The locos on this line continually load up the operating blast furnaces with raw materials for the manufacturing processes in steel making.
