Scottish Main Lines: Inverkeithing - Kirkcaldy - Thornton Junction (Book)

Code: MP121

Description

Inverkeithing, Kirkcaldy and Thornton Junction including the Auchtertool, Colliery, Quarry, Military and Harbour branches.

Until the opening of the Forth Bridge in 1890, passengers from Edinburgh to Fife had to endure crossing the Forth by ferry to Burntisland. With the bridge came a new line from Inverkeithing to Burntisland to join up with the existing line. The Auchtertool line speeded up the transport of coal from the pits to the docks. All are explored herein along with a variety of images to enjoy.
