A Sunday morning jogger takes the former Caledonian route heading east towards Leith Docks on 15 March 2009 and is just about to pass below Lindsay Road bridge. The 6 lines once spanned by the bridge ran to the Western Docks, Leith North Goods Depot and Leith North passenger station, while off to the right at street level beyond the wall stood George Street mineral depot.

The old Lindsay Road bridge that once spanned six tracks of the Caledonian Railway on the western approach to Leith docks, photographed on 15 March 2009. Up ahead stood Leith North passenger station, Leith North goods and the western access to the docks themselves. The bus in the background is heading towards Granton along the realigned Lindsay Road (the old bridge is now inaccessible to motor vehicles) and is about to pass the Chancelot Mill, standing in the Western Harbour area of the docks in the left background.
