Travel Guide

Site of Harburn station, 1998. View NE, towards Edinburgh: ex-Caledonian Railway Carstairs/Strawfrank Junction - Edinburgh main line. The station had been about 200 yards ahead and was closed 18/4/66. The line was electrified in the 1980s. Note: if the geocoords are correct, this station was in West Lothian, NOT South Lanarkshire, and the Wikipedia article is wrong.
