Dalgety Bay

The 4' 6' gauge Fordell Waggonway had been in operation for about 150 years when it was crossed by the Fife section of the Forth Bridge Line in 1890, and it was to survive until 1946.  Seen here on 22 January is the spot where the waggonway was bridged: not terribly obvious on this side, but it's clear that there's more to see from the northern side which is unfortunately inaccessible.  The seemingly pointless short fence is another clue. Local farmers have allowed the waggonway's embankment north of here to survive unscathed.
