These houses have a grand view of the main Edinburgh to Glasgow railway line running along their garden fences. That song 'Little Boxes' was singing itself in my head as I passed along and took these images. (It's there again now, and I wish it would go away!)

Polmont Locomotive Depot
View northward, with the ex-North British Edinburgh - Glasgow main line beside the Shed; J88 0-6-0T No. 68354 and J36 0-6-0 No. 65275 are prominent. The Depot provided motive power for many of the local lines and yards in the area. Three years before in 1954, the Depot (coded by BR 64E in the St Margaret's District) had an allocation of 42, comprising:- 2 2-6-0s (LMS Ivatt type), 24 0-6-0s, 5 4-4-2Ts, 3 0-6-2Ts, 6 0-6-0Ts and 2 0-4-0Ts. It was closed in 5/64.

London bound train, Polmont
East of Polmont Junction where Edinburgh to Glasgow and Edinburgh to Dunblane (my old commute) lines diverge. I think this is the train from Inverness to Kings Cross.

Houses in Stevenson Avenue
As I took these images I heard that song about 'Little Boxes' going through my head. You know the one; it goes, "Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky, little boxes, little boxes, little boxes, all the same."
