This embankment shot was taken in April 2015 facing east. This section can now be seen from the main road as the forestry commission recently removed the trees in front of this. The embankment leads up towards the Tillyfourie cutting itself, and is well over a mile from Tillyfourie Station. It is possible to walk the trackbed for a small section and is used by local residents.
