The site of the sinkhole east of the former Plains station is between a bridge over the North Calder (to the west) and a bridge over the A89 (east). This view looks north east at both bridges in 2008, just before works to re-open the line began. The bridge in the foreground was replaced. A siding came off to the right between the bridges to serve various pits, with the layout changing over the years.
