Kaim Points

The rather sad rump of the Glencorse (then Bilston Glen) line looking towards the junction a few hundred metres away in November 2018. This was Midlothian’s last railway until the Borders Line reopened. It lingered on into the 1990s before being cut back to this point where for a while I believe it acted as a headshunt for the Monktonhall Colliery loading siding. The shunting signal is on a post which carried the full signal when that was still required. The Borders Railway Sheriffhall deviation is behind me, at right angles.
