The Kincardine Line was a railway in Clackmannanshire and Fife, Scotland, connecting the stations in Alloa and near Dunfermline along the north shore of the Firth of Forth. A short branch line ran from Charlestown Junction to Charlestown on the shore of the Forth. This branch line had been part of the Charlestown Railway, also part of the North British Railway.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
