Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Winchburgh Shale Mines Railway The embankment to the right, becoming a cutting in the middle distance as the field rises, is shown on mid-20th century O.S. maps as an electric tramway. It was actually an industrial line of 2ft 6in (760mm) gauge and linked shale mines between Newton and Hopetoun with an oil works at Winchburgh. The pinkish bing (waste heap) of the rock from which the oil has been distilled is in the left background. The small electric locomotives that transported the trucks of ore from the mines to the works had a trolley pole on the roof and took their power from an overhead wire. |
