There’ something about old trains and railway stations that stirs the memory and brings on feelings of nostalgia.
So have a look at these evocative pictures selected from the Evening News archive and recall the days when there were many more train stations and railway lines than there re today.
The photos include shots of stations on Edinburgh’s South Suburban line as well as stops on the route from Edinburgh through the Borders.
