Braeside Junction: The Angus Railway Group's 'Five Counties' railtour of 20 April 1974 stops at Braeside Junction on the Charlestown branch. In the left background is RNAD Crombie, served by a reversal here. Track level photo stops were commonplace on railtours in those days but wouldn't be considered now under any circumstances. See image [[27406]] closer to the train.

Albert Road Level Crossing: Entrance to Leith South yard from Albert Road level crossing in September 2016 with the dock entrance behind the camera. The newish looking gate is a remnant of the 'last hurrah' for the branch, when regular traffic made a 21st century return in order to move imported coal from the docks to Cockenzie Power Station (see image [[9623]]). The power station was finally shut down in March 2013. The gate on the right displays my all-time favourite helpful notice which reads... 'Open Gates Before Proceeding.'

Pilmoor: Views at Sun Beck Gatehouse, which was located on the down side east of Sun Beck level crossing some 250 metres east of Sunbeck Junction, on the line to Coxwold and Gilling East, which was one element of a triangle served by lines from Bishop House Junction (south) and Sessay Wood Junction (north) on the East Coast Main Line near Pilmoor. The former platelayers workshop is still in use as a storeroom by the roadside at the north west corner of the site.
