The wheels are in motion to honour Peebles historic railway by creating a museum in the town. In recognition of the prosperity the railway brought to the community, members of the Peebles Community Trust (PCT) are hoping to transform the former weigh bridge, located in Edinburgh Road car park, to house the railway archive dating back to 1855

The NB approach to Peebles from Galashiels in 2010 looking north west from The Bridges [see image 31892] towards the A703. The line split here with the passenger route veering right towards the bus (the station lay beyond) and a line straight ahead into the goods yard (behind the hedge). The bus is on the NB/Caley link line which continued south to cross the Tweed and join up with the Caledonian. The old goods/weighbridge office survives in the background.
