St Andrews Junction Line (North British Railway)
Introduction
The North British Railway, who in 1877 purchased the St Andrews Railway of 1852, extended the line south east from St Andrews [1st] to the then new St Andrews [2nd] in 1887 to meet the Anstruther and St Andrews Railway. The original station closed to passengers and became a goods yard. The railway closed south from St Andrews [2nd] in 1965 and completely in 1969.
