High Line No. 5 Appleby Frodingham Steelworks Scunthorpe
Industrial Loco No 5 sits on the High Level Railway, serving the two remaining working blast furnaces of Appleby Frodingham Steelworks Scunthorpe 3rd September 2022. Another loco and loading hopper can be seen in the far distance along this short piece of railway infrastructure. The huge blast furnaces are located out of shot to the right of the picture. The photo was taken from one of the brakevans which had been pushed up the incline onto this railway by a 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.
