The Scottish Railway Preservation Society operates the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway, which has been developed since 1979 on a green-field site by the south shore of the Firth of Forth. Several historic buildings have been obtained and re-erected to provide a traditional railway setting. Bo’ness station opened in 1981. The line was extended to Kinneil in 1987 and to Birkhill in 1989, where the fireclay mine is open to the public.

From 2010 the passenger service continues to Manuel, where it is intended that a new station will be constructed.

The final section of the line between Birkhill and Manuel was relaid early in 1990 to provide a connection with the BR Edinburgh to Glasgow main line at Manuel. This line has until 2010 only been used for the movement of locomotives and carriages, allowing the SRPS Railtours train to be based at Bo’ness since 1991. It also enables locomotives from other preservation groups to visit the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway, as in the case of former LMS ‘Black Fives’ 44871 Sovereign, 5407 & 44767 George Stephenson, 8F 48151, LNER K1 2005, K4 3442 The Great Marquess, A2 60532 Blue Peter& A4 60009 Union of South Africa, and BR Standard Four 75014.
