Ferryhill Junction
Part of the series of brick arches, faced with granite from Kintore quarries, used to carry the Aberdeen Railway and later the Caledonian into the centre of Aberdeen, seen in November 2018. This arch has been re-inforced. The line was shared with the Deeside Railway. There was a passenger station at Ferryhill shared by these two companies; however there was not enough siding capacity for the goods trains of the Deeside Company at Ferryhill so they were moved to a temporary station at Polmuir. While Queen Victoria (God bless Her) was in mourning this continued in use for Royal Trains which reversed at Ferryhill so that she did not need to encounter the crowds at the Joint Station.
