The former Control and signalling centre at Thornton Yard. Opened in 1956 incorporating the latest technology to accommodate the supposed trainloads of coal from the new Rothes deep mine. Unfortunately this was at the last moment declared unsafe by geological boffins, a debacle indeed.

Location: Thornton Yard Tower (former)

Original line: Dunfermline Branch (Edinburgh and Northern Railway)
