Easter Road Station

"Once again, a memory brought back from my past!

This shot of the steam train approaching the platform at Easter Road was taken a few yards west of the hen run belonging to my grandfather, John Cation.

Hen Run and Allotment

"My grandfather was on the an ex- railway employee and was allowed to have a hen run up against the banking on the North side of the line.  He also had an allotment further east of the station where he had a shed."

Railway Lines

"If memory serves, there was another line there, coming in from the north, on which there ran a steam train which started from opposite Robb`s Shipyard, up through Junction Road and Bonnington and ending up in the Waverley Station.

The boiler seemed to me to have been in the centre and the seats were reversible (I think)."
