Craigentinny Depot

D3730 rattles past Craigentinny westbound on 30 September 1959 with a motley collection of stock, described on the original slide as a maintenance train. [Additional info from David Kerr: This is in fact a tunnel inspection train consisting of an ex Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway Inspection Saloon (for the Engineers), two wagons with elevated platforms (to access the tunnel crown) and a mess van (for the artisan staff). I believe the saloon was later condemned after sustaining derailment damage at Tweedmouth.]
