<p>Carnforth was not an important or well developed village before the <a href="Victorian_era" title="Victorian era">Victorian era</a> railway age, but was geographically strategically located to make it so. While supplies of <a href="Limestone" title="Limestone">limestone</a> made it interesting, access into <a href="Westmorland" title="Westmorland">Westmorland</a>, the <a href="Lake_District" title="Lake District">Lake District</a> and the coast of <a href="Cumberland" title="Cumberland">Cumberland</a> beyond made it an ideal transport hub point.
</p><p><a href="Carnforth_railway_station" title="Carnforth railway station">Carnforth railway station</a> opened as a single platform wooden structure for access to the then village, but was made into a permanent stone structure by the <a href="Lancaster_and_Carlisle_Railway" title="Lancaster and Carlisle Railway">Lancaster and Carlisle Railway</a> (L&amp;CR) in 1846. In 1857 it became a <a href="Junction_station" title="Junction station">junction station</a> when the <a href="Ulverston_and_Lancaster_Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="Ulverston and Lancaster Railway">Ulverston and Lancaster Railway</a> used it, as did the <a href="Furness_Railway" title="Furness Railway">Furness Railway</a> soon afterwards after taking control of the ULR. The Furness Railway built their own Engine Shed west of the Station; and it is this Shed which was later developed into the present facility. In the 1870s <a href="Architect" title="Architect">architect</a> <a href="William_Tite" title="William Tite">William Tite</a> redesigned the station and layout, allowing <a href="Midland_Railway" title="Midland Railway">Midland Railway</a> trains access. The regionally competing <a href="London_and_North_Western_Railway" title="London and North Western Railway">London and North Western Railway</a> (LNWR) took over the L&amp;CR, and created a jointly -
This growth continued from the late-Victorian era to post <a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> and into the early 1950s. At its height Carnforth handled up to 100 trains a day of holidaymakers, commuters, freight and fuel bound for the seaside, cities, ports and industrial centres.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>When the Midland Railway reached Carnforth in 1857, it developed a small <a href="Railway_roundhouse" title="Railway roundhouse">roundhouse</a> depot and maintenance shed to service its locomotive stock. In Midland days, the Shed was coded "31". The building is still in use as a light industrial facility.<sup id="cite_ref-RailBrit_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RailBrit-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the 1880s the LNWR had rebuilt the small 2-road L&amp;CR facility south of the station into a standard-pattern LNWR 6-road facility.
</p>

<p>At the <a href="1923_Grouping" class="mw-redirect" title="1923 Grouping">railway grouping in 1923</a>, the <a href="London_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="London Midland and Scottish Railway">London Midland and Scottish Railway</a> was created by amalgamation of the MR and the LNWR, together with other railway companies. About 1925, the Furness Shed at Carnforth was closed - the LNWR [Code, Sub of Preston No 27] and Midland Sheds continuing in use for the time being. It was only the largest three constituents of the LMS [LNWR, L&amp;YR and Mid] which used Shed Codes. In 1935, the LMS reorganised the Operating Department; and introduced one composite list of Codes to cover the entire system. And Carnforth became 11A - even though the Depot was spread over two different sites. Resolution of that deficiency had to wait until after the advent of War.
</p><p>From 1936 onwards under instruction from the <a href="Air_Ministry" title="Air Ministry">Air Ministry</a>'s <a href="Kingsley_Wood" title="Kingsley Wood">Sir Kingsley Wood</a>, in a programme headed by <a href="Herbert_Austin" class="mw-redirect" title="Herbert Austin">Herbert Austin</a> many key industries in London and the industrialised Midlands, had created a <a href="Shadow_Factories" class="mw-redirect" title="Shadow Factories">shadow factory</a> to enable production should war break out. Many of these shadow factories, plus a number of <a href="Royal_Ordnance_Factory" title="Royal Ordnance Factory">Royal Ordnance Factories</a>, were located in Cumbria and the Northwest coast, out of range of the bombers of the <a href="Nazi" class="mw-redirect" title="Nazi">Nazi</a> <a href="Luftwaffe" title="Luftwaffe">Luftwaffe</a>. Consequently, when World War 2 did break out, staff moved and additionals were recruited to these facilities. The raw materials going in and requirement of distribution of output, the transport result was a relative boom in both freight and passenger traffic.
</p><p>With the <a href="United_States" title="United States">United States</a> involved in the war from 1941, planning for <a href="Operation_Overlord" title="Operation Overlord">Operation Overlord</a> the invasion of Europe began. The <a href="Port_of_Liverpool" title="Port of Liverpool">Port of Liverpool</a> and the west coast ports of <a href="Scotland" title="Scotland">Scotland</a> were key to importing war machinery and supplies from North America, as well as distributing <a href="US_Army" class="mw-redirect" title="US Army">US Army</a> and <a href="Canadian_Army" title="Canadian Army">Canadian Army</a> troops across England for training, initially in the northwest and northeast. The combination of these factors put a huge strain on local locomotive servicing facilities at Carnforth. Therefore, in late 1942, the Government agreed to fund the construction of a new shed at Carnforth, to allow for the new and planned level of locomotive servicing requirement. Built on the site of the former Furness facility and opened in 1944,<sup id="cite_ref-RailBrit_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RailBrit-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> it allowed for the servicing of many more locomotives, and together with highly mechanised supporting infrastructure greatly reduced the need for operational manpower. Both the LNWR and the Midland Sheds were closed at this juncture. The new facilities included a 70-foot turntable, which could turn LMS Pacifics.
</p><p>On nationalisation in 1948, <a href="British_Railways" class="mw-redirect" title="British Railways">British Railways</a> inherited an almost brand new depot (Code:11A), which was bigger—due to a lack of war activity—than was required. This allowed them to close a number of other local and older or less efficient sheds, and secondly to keep the shed open longer than many when the decision to modernise traction to electric and diesel came. The Code was changed to 24L in 1958; and became 10A [the code it is known by nowadays] in 1963. Carnforth MPD remained relatively unchanged from its reconstruction in 1944, until it closed in 1968.

<p>BR closed the <a href="Lakeside_branch" class="mw-redirect" title="Lakeside branch">Lakeside branch</a> to passengers on 6 September 1965, and to all traffic two years later.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>A group of enthusiasts chaired by <a href="Peter_Beet" title="Peter Beet">Dr Peter Beet</a> formed the Lakeside Railway Estates Company, with the idea of preserving both the line and Carnforth MPD, to provide a complete steam operating system.<sup id="cite_ref-GuardBeetObit_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GuardBeetObit-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Negotiations with BR resulted in an agreement to buy the majority of the Lakeside branch, and at Carnforth rent out: the former wagon works; west side sidings; and 3-roads of the former MPD. Beet formed Steamtown Railway Museum Ltd,<sup id="cite_ref-GuardBeetObit_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GuardBeetObit-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the resultant visitor attraction <b>Steamtown Carnforth</b> became a mecca for steam enthusiasts, then facing a national ban on steam traction on the BR network. With the assistance of the Lancaster Railway Circle, an increasing number of steam engines arrived at Steamtown from 1967 onwards.
</p><p>However, although backed by then transport minister <a href="Barbara_Castle" title="Barbara Castle">Barbara Castle</a>, the need to build a number of <a href="Motorway" class="mw-redirect" title="Motorway">motorway</a> bridges and re-routing of the <a href="A590_road" title="A590 road">A590 road</a> from Haverthwaite via Greenodd to Plumpton Junction, meant that the complete vision was unsuccessful. This caused a split within the Lakeside Railway society in 1970, with one part of the group forming the <a href="Lakeside_%26_Haverthwaite_Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="Lakeside &amp; Haverthwaite Railway">Lakeside &amp; Haverthwaite Railway</a> to operate the residual line, taking four of the engines with them.
</p><p>Steamtown continued under the leadership of Dr Beet, who developed it as a major regional visitor attraction. This included the purchase of both <a href="SNCF" title="SNCF">SNCF</a> <a href="Andr%C3%A9_Chapelon" title="André Chapelon">Chapelon</a> <a href="4-6-2" title="4-6-2">Pacific</a> No. 231.K.22, <a href="Deutsche_Bundesbahn" title="Deutsche Bundesbahn">Deutsche Bundesbahn</a> oil-fired <a href="DRB_Class_01.10" title="DRB Class 01.10">012 Pacific</a> No. 012&nbsp;104-6 (né 01&nbsp;1104), and the development of an extensive <span class="nowrap">15&nbsp;in</span> (<span class="nowrap">381&nbsp;mm</span>) miniature railway.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In 1974 <a href="Sir_William_McAlpine%2C_6th_Baronet" title="Sir William McAlpine, 6th Baronet">Sir Bill McAlpine</a> became a shareholder in the company,<sup id="cite_ref-GuardBeetObit_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GuardBeetObit-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> allowing his <a href="LNER_A3_Pacific" class="mw-redirect" title="LNER A3 Pacific">LNER A3 Pacific</a> <a href="LNER_Class_A3_4472_Flying_Scotsman" title="LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman">4472 <i>Flying Scotsman</i></a> to make Carnforth its home for many years.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Subsequently, McAlpine acquired a controlling interest in the company, in order to fund the purchase of the complete site including the track from BR.
</p><p>Even after the mainline steam ban was removed in the early 1970s, the site remained a hub for both enthusiasts and major servicing point for steam locomotives and associated rolling stock.

<p>McAlpine's interest declined, and resultantly so did Steamtown through lack of investment. In 1990 McAlpine's controlling stake in Steamtown Railway Museum Ltd was sold to David Smith, who over the following years has bought out the majority of the minority shareholders.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>With increasing <a href="Health_and_Safety_Executive" title="Health and Safety Executive">Health and Safety Executive</a> regulations, and an increased reliance on revenue from supplying and servicing steam locomotives to power enthusiast trains, the commercial decision was taken not to reopen Carnforth as a museum or visitor attraction for the 1998 season.
</p><p>Steamtown Railway Museum Ltd is a holding company, and operates a railway repair and operating facility on the site.
