Brechin Station and Yard
View westward, towards buffer-stops; ex-Caledonian terminus of branch from Bridge of Dun, also from Forfar via Careston and from Edzell. Services from Edzell had ceased on 27/9/38, those Forfar and from Bridge of Dun on 4/8/52 and the station was closed to passengers, but the lines from Careston survived until 17/3/58 and from Edzell until 7/9/64, but local freight continued to Brechin until 4/5/81. Since then the Heritage Caledonian Steam Railway (Brechin) has reopened the line to Bridge of Dun.

Preserved rolling tock, Brechin Station
Brechin never quite fitted into the railway building plans of the 19th Century and local trains from Forfar to Montrose had to reverse at Brechin Station, which closed to passengers as early as 1952: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forfar_and_Brechin_Railway . Now the base of the preserved Caledonian Railway (Brechin): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonian_Railway_(Brechin) .
