Looking to the East along Lower Granton Road - 1950s?
The tram is travelling to the east along Lower Granton Road, towards Newhaven.
The long freight train is travelling, in reverse, to the west towards the Coal Yard beside Middle Pier, Granton Harbour

Looking to the West along Lower Granton Road - 1950s?
The tram is travelling to the west along Lower
Granton Road, towards Granton Square. The freight train is
travelling, in reverse, to the east past the Coal at Granton Harbour, or is
possibly standing at the coal yard.

Photo 2. Shunting Coal Wagons at Granton "In this photo, the LNER loco is shunting coal wagons. They are either to go up to or have returned from Granton Gas Works. Latterly a diesel shunter performed this job. Wagons and Turntable Preserved "The wagon marked 'Leith General Warehousing (LGW)' came from Leith. The LGW premises were beside South Leith Station in Constitution Street. One of these wagons is preserved at the Scottish Railway Preservation Society's railway at Bo'ness, West Lothian, as is a small turntable used for moving the wagons in and out of the LGW warehouse."
