Heck railway station served the parish of Heck, North Yorkshire, England from 1871 to 1963 on the East Coast Main Line.

History

The station opened on 2 January 1871 by the North Eastern Railway. It closed to passengers on 15 September 1958[1] and to goods on 29 April 1963. Sidings still served local companies producing building materials.[2]

The opening of RAF Snaith in 1941, increased the passenger traffic to and from the station. No. 51 Squadron RAF arrived at the station in a special train, where the carriages where shunted into the sidings for unloading. One of the carriages ran back onto the main line and caused a blockage.[3]

On 28 February 2001, a car with a trailer missed the motorway bridge south of the station site and ran on the railway tracks, causing the crash of a southbound intercity train and a northbound freight train which left ten people dead.[4]
