The North British's route to Aberdeen between Arbroath and Montrose was single track originally, and later doubled except for the Montrose viaducts. The railway, now the only route to Aberdeen from the south is descending towards Montrose from Usan signalbox. The run to Aberdeen was famous for the races between the North British and Caledonian railways (they ran through Strathmore via Coupar Angus and Forfar).
