Cockenzie Power Station

The coal discharge shed here, south of the power station, was rather prominent on its embankment until it was demolished in 2017 a couple of years after the power station itself. The branch continued climbing sharply to the buffers (to the right). That spot would make a commanding viewpoint - if the whole embankment weren't fenced off. The yellow sign reads 'Power Station Coal Plant'.
