Gilmerton Colliery
A class 26-hauled train from Bilston Glen Colliery passes the site of Gilmerton station in 1978. The disconnected siding into Gilmerton Colliery (closed in 1961) and its ground frame survive, as do some of the buildings. A scrap merchant had taken over the site and used rail traffic for a few more years.
