Opened on the Dundee and Newtyle Railway.Opened on the Dundee and Newtyle Deviations (Dundee and Perth Railway).
Description
This was not a true junction, but was the location where the new Newtyle Deviation met the alignment of the older railway it replaced, the Hatton Incline approach to Newtyle [1st] from the south.
The junction was probably in use for a short time for construction materials.
The location is south east of Hatton Engine House where the old alignment and new alignment meet.
The new formation largely obliterated the original line.
The partly overgrown cutting of the lines remains.
