Old Photograph Railway Station East Wemyss Fife Scotland

Old photograph of the railway station in East Wemyss, Fife, Scotland. East Wemyss was traditionally one of several coal mining communities along the south coast of Fife. East Wemyss used to be a good spot for fishing although the construction of a sea wall has mainly stopped shore fishing. The Wemyss Private Railway was a network of lines, sometimes known as the Wemyss Estate Railway. The lines were a group of mineral and other railways in Fife, Scotland, mainly on the land of the Wemyss family. They were built to connect coal pits to harbours and the railway network, for the use of tenants of the Estate. The Wemyss and Buckhaven Railway was built at the expense of the Wemyss Estate and carried passengers; it was later sold to the North British Railway.
