Waverley Station and Princes Street
Description
Below the buildings and hotels of Princes Street and the Scott Monument are the train tracks and platforms of Waverley Station. A line of carriages is disappearing under the arched roof of a station platform. A steam engine with a tender full of coal appears to be shunting some other carriages as passengers look out of the windows. On the platforms are lighting and a water supply pump.

Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
Edinburgh Waverley is the second largest mainline railway station in the UK. There were originally three stations on the site, serving three separate railway companies including the Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee Railway whose trains ran through a tunnel underneath Princes Street and New Town to another Station at Scotland Street. In 1866 North British Railway absorbed the other two companies and proceeded to amalgamate the three existing stations. Construction of this single station, much of which remains, was completed in 1874.
