Summary

[edit]
Description
English: These crossing barriers will never rise again The dashed white line heading straight into a high metal palisade fence is an indication that until a few months before the photograph was taken this part of Hilton Road led straight through to the main road east out of Alloa towards Fife; indeed, the road direction sign is still in position at the junction in the distance. Part of the costs quoted for the re-opening of the Alloa to Kincardine railway for coal trains to Longannet power station was for a new road crossing the railway on a bridge about half a mile to the east. This allowed the former level crossing in Hilton Road to be closed to vehicles. It had been the intention to provide a footbridge across the railway here for pedestrians but local residents said they didn't want one, preferring to use their cars to drive the long way round to the main road.
