caption_attribution_description: English: Broomieknowe Station (remains) View eastward, towards Esk Valley Junction and Edinburgh; ex-North British Edinburgh (Waverley) - Polton branch. The Station was closed when the branch passenger service ceased on 10/9/51, but the branch survived for goods until 18/5/64.
context_page_description: The Esk Valley Railway was a short branch line built to serve industry in the valley of the River North Esk, south of Edinburgh in Scotland. The terminus was Polton. The line opened on 15 April 1867
  In the nineteenth century passenger use of the line was buoyant, but it declined substantially when road transport services became widespread from the 1920s. The passenger service was withdrawn in 1951, and the goods service closed after the decline of the local industries, in 1964. No railway use is made of the former line now.
context_section_description: The line generated a considerable residential passenger business and an early outer suburban traffic for Edinburgh included Polton in its network.
  In 1895 there were four daily passenger trains in each direction, with two more on Saturdays, between Eskbank and Polton. Some of these were through trains from Edinburgh. The journey time between Eskbank and Polton was typically 12 minutes. There was no Sunday service.
