Description
In this album, photos from the substantial Transport Treasury archive illustrate the character of many of the lines which served (and most still do) between Edinburgh and Dundee. As well as covering the key route between the two cities, we have sought to provide some unusual images from locations which have often been bypassed in the (literal and metaphorical) rush along this former North British Railway route.
Although some of the Fife rail network survived the ‘Beeching Axe” – and is likely to be increased with the re-opening of the line from Thornton to Leven – much has changed in the railway scene, and this album allows us to indulge in nostalgia for past times on routes both lost and retained.

Brought back many childhood memories particularly of Balgreen Halt on the North Berwick to Corstorphine Line, with loco 46461, and other items which I took for granted at the time but which now have vanished, or I thought they had until I read this book.
