Benhar Branch (Caledonian Railway)
Introduction
This mineral branch from the Cleland and Midcalder Line (Caledonian Railway) ran north from Benhar Junction to a series of collieries. The branch opened in 1869 along with the main line. It was to ultimately, following extension, serve Polkemmet Colliery.
It directly competed with the Benhar Branch (North British Railway) which served the same area.
