Cadder Marshalling Yard and Colliery Branches (North British Railway)
Introduction
Cadder Colliery, on the north side of the Forth and Clyde Canal, was served by a series of waggonways owned by the Carron Iron Company. A branch from the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway served a similar area south of the canal. Cadder Marshalling Yard was created by the North British Railway on the former Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The branch here was realigned to allow the yards construction. The branch from the yard was extended west, sometimes known as the Wilderness Plantation Branch, over the canal to the Cadder Colliery.
