Grangemouth No 3 Signal Box: Grangemouth Yard as viewed from the west end, probably from the footbridge adjacent to Dock Road level crossing. In 1971 the yard was only a shadow of it's former self, albeit there is evidence of cement, oil and coal traffic (in 16T mineral wagons) still being handled. This was the afternoon of an Edinburgh University Railway Society brake van trip from Grangemouth to Bandeath, for which the motive power was expected to by an NBL Type 2 - it was a bit of a disappointment that a BR Sulzer Type 2 No. D5009 (transferred earlier in the year from the Stoke Division to Eastfield) was provided. Of course only a few years later, a trip behind a by then class 24 would also be much sought after!

Ayr Station Hotel: Seen from the platform, Ayr's Station Hotel may be semi derelict but it is still at least partially furnished. Note the writing desk with lamps - 'Would madam care for some Quink for her fountain pen?' Time warp.

Ardrossan Town: Glasgow bound 380108, on a service that started at the Harbour station, calls at Ardrossan Town. This station is much smaller than it originally was see image [[21659]] but at least it is open to passengers again after being closed for a number of years.

Summerlee Heritage Centre: Glasgow Corporation No.1017 working on the tramway at the Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life at Coatbridge, on 26th July 2017. This tram was originally built as open-top double-decker No.17 for Paisley Corporation Tramways in 1904. The system was taken over by Glasgow Corporation Tramways in 1923 and in 1925 No.17 was rebuilt as an enclosed single-decker and renumbered 1017. It continued in service until 1960, latterly as a training car. Discovered some years later in a garden at Cambuslang, it arrived at Summerlee in 1991 where a full restoration took place and 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of its re-entry into service. (The Summerlee Museum occupies the site of the former Summerlee Iron Works that lasted for 90 years from 1836 to 1926.)

Cults: Cults Station building dating from 1894 replaced the original structure from 1853 (which had been moved by train from the original location a few hundred yards east in 1855). It has the typical piended (hipped) roof of stations on the Deeside Line. The Up platform is heavily overgrown but intact whereas currently there is no obvious sign of the Down platform; in fact it is hidden behind a row of trees. The building is extended for light industrial use and lies close to the North Deeside Road and is easily accessible on foot off Station Road (private parking only). The walk/cycle/bridleway is part of the Deeside Way route from Duthie Park, Aberdeen to Ballater. In the early 20th Century not only did Cults have two stations but also on-street trams. A photo of these latter is displayed in the toilets of the nearby Cults Hotel.

Murtle: View east along the Deeside Way towards Aberdeen at Murtle on a beautiful autumn day in November 2012. Opened in 1853, Murtle station was reduced to a Halt in 1930, before closing in April 1937. The old timber station building has had limited alteration. The granite Station Master's ('Agent' in GNoSR terms) house is in good repair and is sited just north of the station.

Polmont: Engineers have been working around-the-clock to repair the line which was partially washed away near Polmont when the Union Canal burst its banks on Wednesday, August 12. The force of thousands of gallons of water flowing from the breached canal bank washed away sections of track and undermined the railway’s embankments along a 300m stretch of the line.

Polmont: Over the last six weeks, engineers have had to completely rebuild the foundations of the line, replacing over 15,000 tonnes of soil and stone beneath the track. A kilometre of new double-track railway has also been laid consisting of more than 4,500 metres of new rails and 4,424 concrete sleepers along with 10,000 tonnes of new ballast requiring 27 engineering trains. Over 3,000 metres of signalling cables have been re-laid and two new twin track overhead power gantries installed.
