Dear blog reader
This week’s blog post has a railway theme, 2 shorter reports combined, both with a railway connection.
I do hope you find them interesting.

THE DEATH IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE
On Saturday morning the man who was found dead in a railway carriage at Loch Leven Station on Thursday night was identified by his son as that of Alexander Mitchell, a retired seaman, who resided at Cairneyhill, near Dunfermline.
It seems deceased had joined the train at Inverkeithing, where he had been during the day, and had suddenly expired before reaching Dunfermline. The remains were conveyed to Cairneyhill on Saturday afternoon.

FIFE TRAIN SERVICES WITHDRAWN
The London and North-Eastern Railway Company intimate that the passenger train services on the Dunfermline and Kincardine and Alloa and Kincardine branch lines will be withdrawn on and from 7th July next.
The stations affected are Cairneyhill, Torryburn, Culross, Clackmannan, and Kennet, Kilbagie and Kincardine. Parcels traffic will, however, continue to be dealt with at these stations, but the Company will not be able to deal with horse-box traffic at any of these stations.
