Standard Class 4 2-6-0 76110 has picked up a train from the marshalling yard http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6159311 and is proceeding east through the station. Passenger services ceased in 1968, but the line remained open for freight. Passenger services resumed in 2008 between Stirling and Alloa, but with a new station. The new situation can be seen here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1010303 - the bridge in that view is the same as this one.
