North British diesel-hydraulic 0-4-0 D2747 waits while coal wagons are unloaded at Scotland Street goods yard in mid-1966, a year before closure. From 1850 to 1868, passenger trains from Edinburgh Canal Street station (adjacent, and at right angles to, Waverley station) to the train ferry at Granton passed through the tunnel mouth in the background. A cycle and foot path now follows the old rail route northwards from here towards Granton. See image 23311
