Trinity Bridge foliage

The Granton Branch in Edinburgh survived into the 1980s, latterly serving a Texaco oil distribution depot alongside the former gasworks there.

 

Heading inland from the Firth of Forth in June 1979, a class 25 brings its train of empty oil tanks through Trinity Bridge station, closed in 1925 and now a private residence.

The southern part of this line served the Powderhall refuse works until recently and is still largely in situ, but this northern section of route is now a cycleway.
