Operations
Ludborough station has been restored to its original condition and is a working station museum, complete with an operational signal box. A 1 1/2 mile running line operates northwards to North Thoresby. Trains are operated by both steam and diesel locomotives. Two of the line's diesel locomotives, nos. D3167 and 97650 have strong local connections. The former was the resident shunter at Lincoln Central for many years, whilst the latter was built by Ruston & Hornsby at their Lincoln works.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
