Thank you to
Alistair MacBeath, Granton, Edinburgh for allowing me to reproduce this
photograph of a train on the Caledonian line near Granton Road station.
The train
appears to be heading west, having just passed through Granton Road
Station. The roof of the station building can be seen on the eastern
side of Granton road at the top of this photo.
The building
in the top left corner of this photo is part of a row of shops that now
includes an ice cream shop.

The Photo
"This
privately-taken photo that I purchased recently is one of my favourite
pictures.
There is no photographer identified.
The sign above the buffer on the left-hand
side of the photo reads: 'J36 Rail Tour'.
This is the caption on the photo:"
Ex-LNER J36 0-6-0, NO 65345
staging a Run-Past at Granton Road
on the Railway Society of Scotland
J36 Rail Tour, 27 August 1962"

"I doubt people would be allowed to get so
close to a passing engine these days!"
