Torksey railway station was a station in Torksey, Lincolnshire on the line between Lincoln and Retford.[2] It closed to passengers in 1959, but part of the line remained in use for freight traffic (serving a nearby fuel oil depot) until the early 1980s.[3] Torksey Viaduct remains as a Grade II Listed Structure.
