Do you remember when the trains ran across station brae (Elmwood road) and the level crossing there?

The trains ran behind Ancrum road school.

[craigowler]

I`ve been a way for a day or two cathcing up.

I am a Lochee born and raised - very clear memories of trains passing up and down the South Road. Walked the line often in the 60s

Photo number 2 is not at the junction of Westfield Road/ Perth Road.

It is on the Perth Road at the bottom of Glamis Road near the old Ninewells terminus. The area remains much the same to this day.

Yeah, remember the traind crossing Elmwood Roads. Distant memory of manual operated gates. Railway ran at the back of our tenement. Memories of Black fives pulling coal wagons up the hill.

[BillDFC]

I Remember that the trams didn't need to turn...the driver took out that handle thing and put it in at the other end and carried on backerties...well,you know what I mean.
