Old Photograph Railway Station Haymarket Edinburgh Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station at Haymarket in Edinburgh, Scotland. The station opened in 1842 as the original terminus of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, before the line was extended in 1846 through the Haymarket tunnels and Princes Street Gardens to what is now Waverley station. It is now a major commuter and long distance destination, located near the city centre, in the West End. Trains from the station serve much of Scotland, including Fife and Glasgow, as well as suburban lines to the east, and the East Coast Main Line through to London. It is now the fifth busiest railway station in Scotland.
