Scene just west of Pinkhill station on the Corstorphine branch in June 1958 as a DMU approaches with a Corstorphine - North Berwick service. The large terraced houses standing in the right background face north onto Corstorphine Road. This scene has changed considerably since the photograph was taken, with an additional street of modern houses (Downie Grove) standing just beyond the trackbed (which has been converted to a walkway/cycle path) and the distinctive Forestry Commission Headquarters building now occupying the area directly behind the train.
