Montrose and Bervie Railway
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Montrose_and_Bervie_Railway an entity of type: Thing
The Montrose and Bervie Railway was a Scottish railway. When the Aberdeen Railway opened in 1850, the coastal settlements north of Montrose were not linked in, and local interests promoted a branch line from Montrose to Bervie. They found it impossible to raise capital at first, but from 1861 the larger railways were promoting new connections around Aberdeen, and the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) decided that the Bervie line would give it a route to the south. That scheme did not proceed, but the GNoSR had put money in, and the simple branch line opened, in 1865.

That scheme did not proceed, but the GNoSR had put money in, and the simple branch line opened, in 1865. It was absorbed by the North British Railway in 1881, who also thought it might give them a springboard towards Aberdeen; that scheme too failed to materialise, and the line remained a quiet backwater. Road transport spelt doom for the sparsely trafficked line, and it closed for passengers in 1951 and completely in 1966.
