Thank you to Sandy Maclean
for providing the following answer:
"This
photograph was taken at the west end of the Craigentinny Carriage
Sidings. Behind the staff at the platform was one of the then fairly new
Edinburgh and Glasgow Inter-City diesel multiple unit sets, and on the
right are a main line locomotive and the yard pilot just behind the water
tank.
The shed at
the rear was known locally as the "Black Shed", although the origin is
rather obscure and it was the first such cleaning shed in Edinburgh for
railway carriages, although carriages were cleaned elsewhere at open
platforms or in stations." |
