King's Gate Junction

The first main line train to reach the solum of the Waverley Route since the last track-lifting train passed through in late 1972. Just after 14.30 on a wet Monday 13th October 2014, GBRf 66736 propels the tracklaying train through Kingsgate Points where the new Borders Railway alignment via Shawfair joins the original route from Millerhill through the trees to the right.
