Firsby station was first opened in October, 1886, and was one of the original stations opened on the second stage of the East Lincolnshire Railway.
Railwaymen who worked at the station, which closed in 1970, were able to reminisce about their work and the good times they had.
Memories of Firsby railway station were revived after attendees brought along pictures of the former junction station on the East Lincolnshire line.
