Brechin And Edzell District Railway
The Brechin and Edzell District Railway was a local line in Scotland connecting Edzell, then a developing tourist centre, to the nearby main population centre of Brechin, where there was a branch of the Caledonian Railway. The short line opened in 1896, and it was worked by the Caledonian Railway. The sparse local population did not sustain the line long, and passenger services were withdrawn in 1931; an experimental resumption in 1938 was brief and unsuccessful.

History Early proposals Brechin was an important town but its manufacturing output, and its requirement for coal and agricultural minerals, were stifled because of the difficulty of transport to and from the nearest harbour where coastal shipping was available: Montrose. Robert Stevenson was commissioned in 1819 to report on a means of transport between Brechin and Montrose. Brechin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
