The location of the former Skellingthorpe Railway Station, which was on the Chesterfield Lincoln Railway, in Skellingthorpe, Lincolnshire.

The first station to serve the village was opened by the Great Northern Railway on the line between Lincoln and Gainsborough. It closed in 1868, although the line is still operational today.

The second station was opened in March 1897 by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway but was closed by British Railways in 1955. Though freight and passenger trains continued to pass through for some years after that.

Skellingthorpe was the only LD&ECR station in Lincolnshire, since to the east the line joined the GN&GE Joint line at Pyewipe Junction onto GNR metals into Lincoln while to the west the line crossed the Nottinghamshire border before the next station at Harby.

In 1922 three trains per day plied between Chesterfield Market Place and Lincoln with a market day extra on Fridays between Langwith Junction and Lincoln. All these trains called at Skellingthorpe. From 1951 trains stopped running through to Chesterfield, turning back at Langwith Junction instead.

A derailment at Clifton-on-Trent in 1980 led to the immediate closure of the line from High Marnham Power Station through the station to Pyewipe Junction.
