Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway

The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) was a British railway company established in the 19th century, primarily serving the industrial regions of northern England and parts of eastern Scotland. Its goal was to connect major cities like Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, facilitating the movement of goods and passengers. Over time, it expanded its network and improved infrastructure, playing a key role in supporting regional economic growth. In 1897, it was renamed the Great Central Railway. Today, its legacy continues through parts of the modern rail network, contributing to regional connectivity and development.
