Innocent Railway - Last Train

I took this 8mm home movie in summer 1968 of the last round trip goods train delivery to St. Leonards coal station where our family business, "Hugh Leckie & Sons", was located. It was one of Edinburgh's larger coal delivery businesses, started by my grandfather and subsequently joined by my father, his 3 brothers and sister. More of the family history is at www.theleckies.com It was located in St Leonards (Coal) Station in the South Side of Edinburgh and is now redeveloped into housing and car parking. Coal was brought into town by train from the mines, coming on the line from Duddingston until the line closed in 1968. For a look at what it was like in the 1960s to pack and deliver coal in the winter, see this other home movie:    • Winter Coal Deliveries in 1960's Edinburgh   The camera used was a Kodak Brownie 8 - 8mm movie camera with wind-up mechanism (no batteries needed). http://www.nationalmediamuseum.org.uk... I appreciate the 30k views over 3 years and the comments from those who have appreciated this little piece of history I was fortunate to have captured. However, I have grown tired of receiving uninvited comments from self-appointed music critics. If you don't like the music... mute it. Comments have now been disabled for this.
