Portobello East Junction

A Brush type 4 with a Freightliner container train is held at signals approaching Portobello East Junction off the sub in 1970. The train is standing below the bridge that carried the Lothian Lines on their way to Leith Docks. The Freightliner is waiting to cross the ECML and enter Portobello FLT, but the manoeuvre has been temporarily blocked due to the passing of an EE Type 3 with a train of tanks from Granton.
