Charlestown Branch
The Charlestown Branch started life as the Elgin Waggonway in 1792, later becoming the Charlestown Railway. The North British Railway bought the line and the harbour at the end of the line in 1863, although three years later it was partly abandoned. In 1894, the line was rebuilt and re-opened.

Famous quotes containing the word branch:
“When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
—Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
