Portobello

EWS 66083 lifts a loaded coal train from Leith Docks up the bank to join the ECML at Portobello Junction in March 2007. The yard in the foreground is part of the VAE Baileyfield Switch & Crossing works. In days gone by Lothian Lines traffic would have been about to diverge north here before skirting Portobello Yard on a curving embankment.
