The Belvoir Castle Railway in Leicestershire was otherwise known as the Grantham Canal Railway, as it joined the castle to the nearby canal. The principal traffic was coal. The Butterley Company supplied rails of "I" cross-section between 1813 and 1815. Several are now in the Science Museum and are 3' long, weighing 40lbs, with a bearing surface 1" wide.
