Burntisland railway station, Fife
Opened in 1847 as a terminus station, the original platforms were just out of view to the left of this image, and were convenient for the ferry connection to and from Edinburgh.
In 1890, the Forth Bridge was opened and the North British Railway realigned the platforms to this location to permit through running of trains to Edinburgh.

Burntisland Railway Station
The railway came to Burntisland in 1847. From then until the opening of the Forth Bridge in 1890, Burntisland was a terminus of national significance. In that period, the Burntisland/Granton ferry was the principal means of crossing the Forth estuary. Passengers transferred from the train to the ferry, and back to the train at the other side. This picture shows the facade of the original 1847 station, access to the 1890 station is through the door on the left. The newer station is behind and to the left of this building.
