Description

The Eyemouth Branch by Roger Jermy A short railway line in Scotland's Borders region, the Eyemouth Branch connected the fishing port of Eyemouth with the East Coast Main Line at Burnmouth. At its heart was the impressive viaduct over the River Eye, which was severely damaged in 1948 and ultimately led to the branch line's closure. This book explores the history of the Eyemouth Branch through 16 chapters, covering proposals for its construction, depot operations, locomotives, the fishing industry, freight trade, accidents, and the remains of the line today.
