Description

This junction was on the West of Fife Mineral system north of Dunfermline and south west of Kelty. The line from Kingseat Colliery to Lassodie Colliery opened around 1862. This junction opened in 1863 and connected that line to Kelty allowing through running from Dunfermline to Kelty.

The branch to Lassodie Colliery served several pits. It was probably originally a North British Railway line and later private.

Around the 1890 this became a triangular junction. This junction became the southern apex. A signal box was opened at the junction around 1895. The box was on the east side of the line.

The box closed in 1923, all the boxes on this system between Dunfermline and Kelty closed in the 1920s.

The Lassodie Colliery line was closed by the time the Ministry of Fuel and Power's Kelty Disposal Point opened in the Second World War. This cut through the former south to west curve.
