Hi Dan and welcome to the forum. Don't know about the freight line near you but I do know there is a very good heritage line nearby that run every weekend and Tuesday Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout August. The Great Central Railway runs from Loughborough to Liecester and has steam and deisel operating.
There are many more across the midlands. Hope you enjoy the forum and have a good day out with your 3 year old! PS many operate a Thomas weekend too like the Midland Railway at Butterley.
Regards
Phil
