Market Rasen railway station serves the town of Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, England. It was built by the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway, with the opening of the line, in 1848. The station was a substantial structure with an overall roof below which all the usual station facilities could be found including a W. H. Smith bookstall. It is the only station now between Lincoln and Barnetby, but in the past there was far more stations stops. The signal box which was at the south end of the Lincoln platform was removed to Great Central Railway (heritage railway) at Quorn and re-erected in 1987
Nowadays it is on the "Grimsby - Lincoln - Newark" line and is managed by East Midlands Trains.
