![170 458 calls at Dalmeny with a service from Fife to Edinburgh on 27 October, under an ambiguous sky. Dalmeny station opened with the Forth Bridge and indeed was called Forth Bridge very briefly, perhaps just for publicity reasons. South Queensferry is both nearer and a bigger draw, but there was already a South Queensferry station at the end of the branch from Ratho. It was therefore given the name Dalmeny, though Dalmeny is only a small village and is not even adjacent. It's more than 80 years since the branch closed, so I don't suppose it will change its name now... <br><br>[David Panton 27/10/2010]](/images/31000/31306.jpg "Dalmeny")
