This photo, taken on a railtour in the 1970s, shows the track still present at Waterloo Goods Yard. The Waterloo site had been the Aberdeen terminus of the Great North of Scotland Railway until the construction of the Denburn Valley Railway in 1867. The "Waterloo Branch" (Kittybrewster - Waterloo) survives today although the remaining sidings are covered over in sand and the site is used as a pipe storage yard. One single private siding survives for calcium carbonate traffic and at the time of writing this is being recieved up to 3 times a week.
