Crossgatehall Halt

The railway cut through the crossroads at the hamlet of Crossgatehall and the roads had to be bridged. The arrangement has never been altered as seen in this road sign on 6th November 2019. You cross the old line on an iron-parapet bridge requiring traffic lights. The historian of the line says there are no known photographs of the short-lived halt here, though I do know that the wooden platform was on the other side (north) and that the sole building looked like an outhouse. Access was from the Musselburgh road.
