The Station Today
The station (off South Street, Ingrow) is the first scheduled stop on the line from Keighley railway station. The Vintage Carriages Trust has its Museum of Rail Travel which opened in 1990 next to the station. The station is home to the Bahamas Locomotive Society and its collection of locomotives. The society runs the 'Ingrow Loco' museum in the former goods shed, which has been extended to create workshop space for the overhaul of its collection of locomotives. The gates at the entrance to Ingrow West are from the former Great Northern Goods Yard in Keighley, which is now Nelsons Builders Merchant.
Ingrow had a second station, Ingrow (East), which served the Great Northern Railway's Queensbury Lines to Bradford and Halifax.

Famous quotes containing the words station and/or today:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“The East is the hearthside of America. Like any home, therefore, it has the defects of its virtues. Because it is a long-lived-in house, it bursts its seams, is inconvenient, needs constant refurbishing. And some of the family resources have been spent. To attain the privacy that grown-up people find so desirable, Easterners live a harder life than people elsewhere. Today it is we and not the frontiersman who must be rugged to survive.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
