The Central Belt of Scotland was covered in many railways because there were countless coal and mineral collieries, and iron works, scattered across its landscape during the 19th and 20th centuries. This poster only shows the passenger lines and their stations, however the extent of railtracks across Lanarkshire and the Lothians was immense. This was an area of heavy industry.
Many of the passenger lines doubled up in areas because of rival rail companies. The Caledonian Railway (CR) and the North British Railway (NBR) were fierce competitors during the 19th century. During this century Coatbridge was Scotland's centre for coal mining and ironworks, and actually had twelve passenger stations at one point. Two of these stations were roughly 150m apart on separate railways in the centre of the town, one called Coatbridge Station (CR) and the other Coatbridge Central Station (NBR). The NBR's station Coatbridge Central closed in 1951, so the other station was renamed Coatbridge Central in 1953 and is still operating today.

The Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway was the first public railway in Scotland and the first to use locomotive power successfully. It opened in 1826 for the transportation of minerals, and ran from a colliery at Monkland to a basin on the Forth and Clyde Canal at Kirkintilloch.
The Port Edgar Rail Ferry preceded the famous Forth Rail Bridge in carrying trains across the Firth of Forth to North Queensferry. When the bridge was opened in 1890 the rail ferry became redundant and subsequently closed. Further down the Forth, the first ever rail ferry in the world, from Granton to Burntisland, was also discontinued when the bridge opened.
Bangour Village Hospital, a psychiatric hospital designed and built on the continental colony system and situated next to the village of Dechmont, had its own private railway line and station. It was opened to passengers in 1905, along with an additional station at Dechmont. The branch line was attached to the Edinburgh and Bathgate Railway not far from Uphall. The line and two stations were short-lived and closed in 1921.
