View south east over the Chalmerston Loading Pad loop, which occupies a site similar to the former Burnton Loop see image 55783. The original Laight Brae route to Watersite was to the left, now completely obliterated for the first mile. In the right background is the site of the Minnivey Nos 4&5 mine (opened in 1955 and closed in 1975) and the Burnton Washery. The site became the Scottish Industrial Railway Centre before relocation to Waterside. Pennyvenie 2,3&7 survived Minnivey, closing in 1978.
