Stumbled upon this accidentally when visiting Thornton fever hospital in Fife, looked across the road and saw a rusty train buffer and loads of track
Don't know a lot about this and can't seem to find much, but from the condition of the tracks I can tell atleast one of the tracks was used recently, but the yard is literally the end of the line, so its strange a train was here.
The controls for the tracks are manual with a lever rather than auto points.
Still not 100% sure this is completely abandoned, but it sure looks it
I have managed to find out that it was an EWS depot, and was presumably built for the Rothes Colliery - which was constructed, never used, and then demolished
The carriage frames on the tracks have been here a LONG time - some have trees growing through them
