Kirbymoorside: A view east from the road bridge at Kirbymoorside station in October 2009. At this time the station buildings were still standing but the goods yard had been redeveloped and had some industrial buildings over much of the area. Today all this has been swept away with a vets between the station site and the A170 road. Most of the area where the factory had been is now housing.

Hardengreen Viaduct: ScotRail 158728+158719+158729, forming a 6-car southbound Sunday morning service on the Borders Railway, photographed crossing Hardengreen Viaduct on 16 January 2022. The modern viaduct links sections of the old Waverley Route, which had been breached during realignment of the A7 in the late 1990s. Coincidently, the pedestrian footbridge visible in the right background also links sections of the trackbed of a railway route breached by the realigned A7, in this case the former Peebles Railway. The two lines once met less than half a mile north east of here at Hardengreen Junction. (See image [[17896]]).

Burntisland East Dock: Looking west at Burntisland Dock in 1986 with Bulk handling barge No.5 alongside the unloading crane. The barges were used to tranship bauxite from ocean-going vessels, which would moor out in the Forth estuary. Use of rail for this traffic ceased around 1980 and the track that once ran under the cranes had been cut back to these buffer stops (and was later removed altogether).
