An interesting scene during the Borders Railway excavation work around Newtongrange on the section to the north of the A7 bridge after the old platforms of the 1908 NB station were uncovered. The station had closed to passengers in 1969 but the line saw coal traffic from Lady Victoria continued for approximately 3 years. Scene in April 2013, with Station Road on the right and the familiar street pattern beyond formed by the houses of Dean Park.
