Dunfermline loco shed, 1965

This was close to the former Dunfermline Upper station on the direct line from Dunfermline to Alloa via Oakley, all trace of which through the town has been obliterated. Locomotive 65288 in the foreground is one of Matthew Holmes's C-Class 0-6-0 freight locomotives for the North British Railway, later LNER Class J36. Introduced in 1888, several of the class lasted until the end of steam operation in Scotland, working coal trains in the Fife coalfield. 25 of the class served in France during WW1, in recognition of which they were given names, most unusually for freight locomotives. One of the class named 'Maude' (after the general) has been preserved. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6065169
