Beet Factory Signal Box
Beet Factory signal box controlled the access to and from Scotland's only sugar beet factory at Cupar. The factory itself closed at the end of the 1971 season although the box remained open until 1st April 1973. A chance sighting from a Dundee - Edinburgh train in 1971 of the resident pug in steam, and a quick exit at Cupar, was my only visit to this location. The 0-4-0ST, AB1863/26, was delivered new to Cupar and the last I heard it was at The Caledonian Railway Brechin.
