Steam Train Arriving at Sheringham
LNER Class B12 locomotive 8572 pulls a steam train (tender-first) into the NNR's station at Sheringham.

The station opened on 16th June 1887 and was extended in 1896. Externally, the current station building is broadly similar to the extended station although, where the buffet is now, there was a parcels office and an open space under the overall canopy. The canopy has recently been restored in its original style.
The North Norfolk Railway (Poppy Line)

The North Norfolk Railway (NNR), also known as the "Poppy Line", is a heritage steam railway. The line, which once formed part of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway, is just over 5 miles long and runs between the coastal town of Sheringham and the terminus at Holt. There are two stops between Sheringham and Holt, Weybourne and Kelling Heath. The original line opened in 1887 and closed in 1964; work on rebuilding the line started in 1965, and on 4 June 1967, two steam locomotives were delivered.

The NNR operates both steam and diesel-hauled services, and organises a programme of seasonal special events.
