Gorgie East railway station
Gorgie East Railway Station (named Gorgie Station until 1952) was a railway station on the Edinburgh Suburban and Southside Junction Railway in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was opened on 1 December 1884 and served the Gorgie area of Edinburgh. Gorgie East station closed in 1962, when passenger rail services were withdrawn from the Edinburgh Suburban line. There is now no trace of the station but the route continues to be used for freight services to this day, so freight trains avoid Edinburgh's main stations of Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket, and occasionally diverted passenger trains also pass along this line. It was re-opened for one day on 21 May 1969 when a contingent of the Household Cavalry arrived by special trains, using the station.
