Kincardine Power Station (British Railways)

Introduction

This short branch was used to deliver coal to Kincardine Power Station. The branch led to a marshalling yard and discharge facility. The site had its own shunters. After closure of the power station the site was intermittently used for loading coal to be taken the short distance east to Longannet Power Station.
