The Railway Path follows the alignment of a steeply-graded 19th-century private standard-gauge railway northwards through the woods and on to the edge of Fauldhouse Moor, where it served two large ironstone pits. The branch, which started near Fauldhouse North station, on the Edinburgh - Shotts - Glasgow line, was known as the Dixon's Pits Branch as the pits belonged to that well-known iromnaster with works (colloquially referred to as Dixon's Blazes after the flames from the blast furnaces) near Glasgow.
