North Queensferry Tunnel
To the north of North Queensferry station the railway passes through the North Queensferry Tunnel. This tunnel is, curiously, immediately below the cutting seen here. View looks south.
Were the sides of the cutting considered unstable?
From Neil Fairnie:
North Queensferry Tunnel was originally built as a cutting, but to keep the local landowner happy a tunnel roof was built to disguise the smoke or noise or both. I remember being told this when I worked as a Civil Engineer for BR back in the early 80's.
