Gask Siding
View east from the B915 road along the flooded cutting of the West of Fife Mineral Railway's Gask branch in January 2012. On the left is a bridge abutment with a length of rail propped against it. A hundred years ago this was the terminus of the branch, with a transhipment platform connecting to a 'tramline' to Rescobie limestone quarry. Previously the line had continued to a triangular junction at Lassodie, near Kelty. Behind the camera is the former RN yard at Lathalmond from which rail traffic was withdrawn in 1971. The location is now the home of the Scottish Bus Museum and the Shed 47 Group.
