The Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway is a heritage railway in Bo'ness, Scotland. It is operated by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS), and operates a total of over of track (between Bo'ness and Manuel Junction, via Kinneil and Birkhill), virtually the entire Slamannan and Borrowstounness Railway that became part of the former North British Railway on the Firth of Forth. Bo'ness railway station is the nucleus of the Museum of Scottish Railways. The railway has three main stations and small halt: Rolling Stock. Steam locomotives. Most of the steam fleet have had major industrial careers in  Scotland, but a few ex-mainline types are also in constant service. Diesel/electric shunters. As with almost all of the preserved lines in Britain, diesel shunters are predominantly used to move rolling stock and locomotives around the yard at Bo'ness. Heritage diesels. Former main-line diesel locomotives are abundant on the Bo'ness Railway, and diesel galas are held each year. Multiple units. The DMUs do not see much service. Coaching stock. The SRPS's stock at Bo'ness includes 67 passenger and light freight coaches. It is one of the most varied collections in the U.K. LNER teak panel coaches . A small collection of LNER coaches reside at Bo'ness, though most of the collection has yet to be restored. Norwegian coaches. Two of the railway's Norwegian coaches were originally restored and used on passenger trains, though they have since been grounded for other purposes. Highland Railway coaches. The SRPS owns some of the last surviving HR coaches in existence today. Caledonian Railway coaches. Caledonian Railways stock was originally used with the CR 0-4-4T, but has seen little use of late due to the loco being out of traffic. North British Railway coaches. As with the LMS  and Caledonian coaches, none of the North British Railway coaches are in service on passenger trains. BR Mk1s. The BR Mk1s were an abundant type of coach on the mainline in the early days of BR steam, and like the BR Standards, were built to be both durable and easy to maintain. Today Mk1s make up over 95% of all Bo'ness trains, generally made of three or four of them in Carmine/Cream, SRPS LMS Maroon. Other coaches. The Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway's stock includes rare, or even unique, builds for special purposes. Freight stock. Due to a lack  of loops mid-journey, demonstration freight trains are restricted to the yard at Bo'ness. Mineral wagons. In the days of steam wagons like these would have been used to transport coal across the country and into England and Wales. Open wagons. These wagons would have been used for transportation of any goods in general Brake vans. Brake vans are traditionally used either in front of, or behind trains. Covered vans. These wagons were used to transport larger quantities of goods than open wagons, Tanker wagons. Tankers were originally designed for the safe transportation of liquids. Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway The
