Aberdeen's first station closed to passengers as early as 1867 when the new Aberdeen Joint Station opened, but the branch-line is still open to freight. In the background a solitary "silver bullet" china clay tanker is parked: http://flic.kr/p/c8aHiU . The yellow sign between the tracks indicates "zero miles" (the starting point for surveying the line towards Inverness).
