Location notes
Ulceby is in North Linconshire about 5 miles east of Barnetby. It is a small station served by trains from Grimsby to Barton-on-Humber as they cross the freight line to Immingham Docks.
Railway type and traffic
Class 153 units are the usual trains on the local service.
Freight trains are both numerous and varied with a large range of both wagon types and destinations. Unfortunately now only class 60s and 66s are the usual motive power.

Photographic notes
There is only one platform at Ulceby as it is located between the single line spur from Grimsby and the line to Barton-on-Humber so trains call at the platform in both directions. Only freight usually uses the far running line without a platform. As the freight trains are actually heading north to Immingham and South towards Barnetby at this point, in a morning you would have to take pictures from the platform of trains from Immingham approaching on the adjacent line. In the afternoon, the sun is in the wrong position for pictures from the platform though shots leaning over the crossing are possible again of trains from Immingham. The crossing is notable in still retaining old-fashioned gates on what is a busy road and railway.
