Clatchard Craig Quarry

January 2016 marked the 50th anniversary of a major rock fall at Clatchard Craig Newburgh which blocked the Ladybank - Bridge of Earn route as a through line until re-opening on 16th January 1967. During this time Newburgh goods depot was served by a daily shunt from Perth and a run round loop was provided at Clatchard to enable ballast trains access.

25008 passes the site of the rockfall on 29th July 1978 with a Perth - Edinburgh service.
