Kinghorn

The Binnend Oilworks branch left the main line at Kinghorn station. It had to get to the other side of the East Port end of the High Street, but the ground rose too sharply for a level crossing so a short tunnel had to be dug. The course of the line into the tunnel can be made out in this photograph of 7 November, with the tunnel mouth plugged (after a gap of many decades) by the local medical practice (the building with the mansard roof). The street side of Kinghorn station building can be seen on the far left.
