- Q22102018 abstract "The Smeaton railway branches of the Lothians were a group of railway branches in East Lothian and Midlothian, Scotland, in the area between Dalkeith and Haddington.The Duke of Buccleuch's Tramway was opened in 1837 from Dalkeith to Smeaton and Cowden; it was a horse drawn waggonway, with a prodigious viaduct, the Victoria Bridge, over the River South Esk.When the North British Railway purchased and modernised the nearby Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway, there was a call to modernise Buccleuch's railway too, and this culminated in the The Monktonhall, Ormiston and Dalkeith Railway, built by the North British Railway. This ran from Monktonhall Junction, on the Edinburgh to Dunbar main line, to Smeaton. There was an eastward branch from Smeaton to Macmerry and a southerly branch from Smeaton passing Dalkeith to the Hawick line. These lines opened in 1866 - 1869, and passenger trains ran from Macmerry to Edinburgh from 1872.Finally the Gifford and Garvald Light Railway was opened from Ormiston to Gifford in 1901; it never reached Garvald.Considerable coal mining activity was taking place around Smeaton and Ormiston, but the remainder of the lines traversed sparsely populated terrain, and the lines were not successful commercially. Closure to passengers took place in 1925 and fully in 1933. Goods closure followed in the 1950s, with short sections retained for colliery access until 1980.".
