The society owns Locomotives and Rolling Stock but not the railway it runs on. The name comes from the Appleby-Frodingham Steel Company, now known as British Steel Limited Scunthorpe after its buy-out by Greybull Capital. The railway operates entirely within the Steelworks limits over tracks normally used for moving Molten Iron, Steel and Raw Materials. Trains travel between {{convert|7|and|15|mi|km}}, all within the steelworks. HistoryOccasional excursion trains were run around the Scunthorpe Steel Works site (such as in 1986) using the works' own locomotives. Then in 1990, steam-hauled passenger trains were run as part of a works anniversary celebration, using a locomotive borrowed from the Rutland Railway Museum. This was popular enough for further events to be planned using locomotive and carriages borrowed from the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. The society now owns (or is responsible for) several steam and diesel locomotives. On occasions the (radio controlled) locomotives, normally used for site operations, have been used on passenger trains. Locomotives
Special eventsIrregular special events are organised such as 'Diesel Days' where Corus or other visiting locomotives operate a series of trains through the day. For example, in 2003 one of each type of Corus locomotive (a Yorkshire Engine Co 'Janus', a Hunslet 'Anchor' and a 'High Line locomotive') together with an EWS class 08 were used on special trains, each making one round trip of around {{convert|6+3/4|mi|km}}. It is not unusual for the passenger trains to be stopped to allow steelworks trains to pass. It is sometimes possible to see trains carrying molten iron from the blast furnaces.
