I was brought up in kennoway I remember the steam trains then now 70 years old living in Australia ,I know that area back wards my old turf ,been back a few times,that’s Henderson’s old coal yard they used to deliver coal to the houses old jimmy Australia ,I was in there 2 years ago
Apparently this was a goods only line that ran up to Lochty (east Fife) from 1898-1964. I remember a railway bridge/viaduct that ran above the Leven Road. Demolished mid 1970's?
Hi I think the line and bridges were built to hold each way traffic but unfortunately due to lack of profit the line only stayed single use with a passing loop over the bridge in case of accidents for access
The tunnel that goes under the road has been there for over 40year as am 45year old next week and I was born in the housing scheme you see over the foot bridge
@@BogieOnPatrol cheers. Worked it out after watched your other videos. Good content 👌 I'd imagine its a no go now because NR are doing reinstatement work?
@@dct1 I would think so. When I made the most recent one on the full length, Network Rail had guys out surveying it, so wanted to get it done before it's cleared. That way we can see the state it was.
@@dct1 Same thing happened when the Victoria Power Station was demolished. I got a lot of people watching it. I also got a copycat making a video on somewhere I did. I would see it as flattery, but the fact he has 1000s of views and I only got 50 kinda bugged me, lol
Just looked it up. Wow. There you go. Always wondered. Knew it couldn't be a distance marker, since they were the same numbers one after the other. Never dawned on me it could be something like a surveying marker.
I traveled all around there when the trains still run up to Lochty, traveled to Lochty a few times. I don't think there will be much left there now after 60 years since it closed, The line starred at East Fife signal box which controlled trains into the branch line and Kirkland yard the under the Baubee bridge to Methil and on to Thornton ,via Buchaven Weymess then Thornton railway station which the golf course now owns ,
Interesting ty for sharing

It's only been a single track line from methil power station until you got to the Cameron station then it went to two lines for a small length
The last train to pass through was 23years ago
It was the old Kirkland train yard and Sidings and if you head up the steelwork brae the line is still in the road bridge
Fair amount of abandoned railway still intact. Where are you 22:33 ?
Line between Cameron bridge and Leven
