Halbeath: An undated shot, but thought to date from 1969, of the remains of Halbeath station. Passenger services ended on 22nd September 1930, although goods traffic was still handled until 28th December 1964, albeit as an Unstaffed Public Siding since 1952. The level crossing gates seem to have suffered an accident of some sort although the signal box remained in use until 1981.
