The Railway Line leading to Leith Docks

The view of the railway line as it passes under Fillyside Road. There is now just a single track. One would have thought, given the span of the bridge, that there was once double track, but I have been unable to verify that from looking at earlier maps. The area to the left of the railway line is part of Meadows Yard, an area of regenerated scrub.
