Newington Goods
An example of a CWR expansion joint (Adjustment Switch). The short pieces of rail (strap rails) hold the special timbers in position whilst the slip joint allows for expansion and contraction of the rails. The sleepers on the Up line were concrete.
Looking east from the position of a former signal post now occupied by pieces of timber in the Cess. Location is between what is now Relugas Place on the left and East Champanyie on the right. Hard to believe that there had been an extensive system of sidings on the Up side. Despite the obvious signs of Spring it seems that there was still a dusting of snow on the side of Arthurs Seat in the background.
