The track is embanked over a shallow valley, a tributary of Newbrough Burn, and does lead north to Greyside Farm. Old maps show, however, that it was probably originally built to serve lead workings, south of the farm on the left bank of Newbrough Burn, and potentially another on the east bank. These are marked as 'Old Lead Workings' on the 1:2,500 OS map of 1922. Neither track, nor workings, are shown on the first edition map of 1861.
