Location type
Name and dates
Arbroath HarbourOpened on the Arbroath and Forfar Railway.
Description
A goods branch of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway extended south as a double track line beyond the terminus at Arbroath (Catherine Street) to Arbroath Harbour. South of Grimsby Loading Bank, a goods yard between South Grimsby and Shore, the line subdivided into sidings to Arbroath Saw Mills (to the west), west and south side of the Arbroath Wet Dock and the north side of the wet dock.
The saw mills siding was alongside Lady Loan and there had been a (rather poor) connection between the Arbroath and Forfar Railway and the Dundee and Arbroath Railway here (the latter had a terminus Arbroath (Lady Loan). The connection was replaced with a new line through Arbroath station.
