Welcome to The Locomotive & Carriage Institution
For those interested in the railway industry everywhere
Providing lectures and visits on all aspects of the railway industry
The Locomotive & Carriage arranges lectures and visits on all aspects of the railway industry through a regular programme of lectures and seminars in London as well as UK and overseas visits to operational railway installations.
The Institution was founded in 1911 and was then known as the Institute of Locomotive Inspectors and Foreman. Our present title was adopted in 1931. Since then we have continued to provide a knowledge of and interest in all aspects of the railway industry. Whilst based in Britain, we also have members in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland and America.
