Slateford Viaduct: View north along Edinburghs Inglis Green Road on a Sunday morning in October 2017. The Voyager passing over Slateford Viaduct is a CrossCountry Trains Craigentinny - Glasgow Central empty stock working. The 14-arch Caledonian Railway viaduct was opened in 1842 and electrified in 1988. Nearer the camera is Slateford Aqueduct, opened 20 years earlier to carry the Union Canal. Both structures also span the Water of Leith (off picture to the right).

Amotherby: Amotherby Station sat at the east side of Amotherby Lane crossing to the south side of the single line running from the ECML, through Coxwold and Gilling East, to Malton. Nothing remains of the station and crossing, with the trackbed, station and goods yard site now having been incorporated into the expanded operation of the now BATA (Brandsby Agricultural Trading Association) agricultural feed mill that was previously rail fed. View is looking east from near the roadside end of the station platform, with the track having run alongside the hedge seen to the left, in May 2019.
