Rust in peace as Neil Young would say. It's obviously been a while since this train went anywhere.

SLEEPING BEAUTY! proclaims the bilboard to passing motorists on Seafield Road. The train sleeps in the siding but its beauty lies in the eye of the beholder - should the beholder be impressed by heavy metal engineering.

About 110m east of the the crematorium entrance is this barely used footbridge over the branch railway line. A few paces away is a crossing making climbing unnecessary.

Looking back west along to the tenements beside Seafield Street. There's a freight train - perhaps taking imported coal to Cockenzie Power Station, and a cyclist headed east.
A long lens view to Arthur's Seat looking over the houses at Abercorn and Willowbrae and the patchy slopes of Whinny Hill.
Zoomed in a little more on the patches of gorse on Whinny Hill. On Arthur's Seat there's a few climbers on the summit and coming back down. They're only a few pixels high in this shot but they stand out silhouetted against the horizon.
