JunctionNames and dates
Mary Pit Siding (1900-1900)Lumphinnans East Junction (1900-1967)
Opened on the Dunfermline Branch (Edinburgh and Northern Railway).
Opened on the Lumphinnans North Junction to Lumphinnans East Junction (North British Railway).
Description
The 'Mary' Pit opened in 1904, so the box here must have served a siding associated with construction of the pit before it opened. In 1900 the box was renamed and in 1901 the box was replaced in connection with the opening of the 1902 double track curve to Lumphinnans North Junction. This provided an eastern exit for trains from Kelty.
The box closed in 1935 when the nearby box at Lumphinnans North Junction took over. The Kelty curve closed in 1967. The original double track main line remains open.
