A look at the long closed lines and stations in Fifes intricate railway network.
This comprehensive video record, transferred from colour film taken by local cameramen looks at some of the long closed lines and stations which formed part of the Fifes intricate railway network, which existed until the early 1970s.
Filmed in a wide variety of locations, the programme features many locomotives that were the standard steam types found in Fife.
These include Class A4, A3, B1 V2 J36, J37, J38 and WDs, plus early diesel rail cars and shots of the short lived Clayton diesel locomotives.
Industrial steam at work on the Wemyss Private Railway and the British Aluminium Works at Burntisland, plus film of the St. Andrews to Thornton Junction coast route with steam and diesel power, combine to provide a vivid reminder long forgotten scenes.
