The history of Britain’s railways is marked by a number of historic lines; some, such as the Stockton & Darlington and the Liverpool & Manchester, are still familiar names, other sadly are now less familiar despite their historical importance. One of the latter is the Dundee & Newtyle, which opened the first sections of its 4ft 6 in gauge line in 1831 and which was the first railway in the north of Scotland. The original northern terminus was at Newtyle. The initial terminus was bypassed by a diversionary route and new station in 1866, the line having been converted to standard gauge in the late 1840s, but the original station was retained as a goods shed until final closure in September 1964.
