The main purpose of this station was to serve Camperdown Works, one of many jute mills in Dundee, and by far the largest from local memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mainly freight\/coal to serve the jute mill and onwards to Newtyle and Alyth.&nbsp; Passenger services were few and ran between freight operations which took priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locomotives \/ Rolling Sstock<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many variations on the route including Black 5s, J37, J39 and the occasional DMU.&nbsp; 08 diesel shunters were known to run on the route and shunt the yard.&nbsp; Camperdown Works had its own locomotives ad an extensive rail system beyond the gates.&nbsp; This would have been too big and complicated so has been represented by a spur to the side of the control panel.&nbsp; Rolling stock was mainly coal and covered vans for Camperdown Works but there was a large goods yard to support the local trades \/ coal merchants in the Lochee area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/IMG_1365-770x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/IMG_1365-770x400.jpg 770w, http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/IMG_1365-770x400-300x156.jpg 300w, http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/IMG_1365-770x400-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee 30 - Copy-1024x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-338\" width=\"443\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee%2030%20-%20Copy-1024x480.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee%2030%20-%20Copy-300x140.jpg 300w, http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee%2030%20-%20Copy-768x360.jpg 768w, http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee%2030%20-%20Copy-1536x719.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee%2030%20-%20Copy-2048x959.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee 4 - Copy-1024x723.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-339\" width=\"884\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee%204%20-%20Copy-1024x723.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee%204%20-%20Copy-1024x723-300x212.jpg 300w, http:\/\/dundeemrc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/Lochee%204%20-%20Copy-1024x723-768x542.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description Period layout based on Lochee Station as it was in the 1950s and 60s.&nbsp;
