Easter Road Junction see image 17507 was situated right at Easter Road station (closed 1947) at the other end of the curve from Abbeyhill Junction. This line allowed trains through Waverley direct access to Leith and Granton, succeeding the more direct cable-hauled line through Scotland Street tunnel. This curve line closed around 20 years ago after it was decided not to electrify the Abbeyhill loop. Nevertheless the sign still stands in November 2010, overlooking the Powderhall branch and no points.
