Dronely Station Site (April 2012).wmv
Dronley station was on the divergence line from Dundee To Newtyle via Auchterhouse. The original line, opened in 1831 with three inclines using stationary steam engines to raise and lower trains.
Another feature of the old railway was a 300 yard tunnel through the Law (Hill) above Dundee.
Much of the newer track bed is now a public walk way, while parts of the incline railway are still visible, inspite of having all closed by the mid 1860's.
The new line from Ninewells Junction to Alyth Junction closed to passengers in 1955 but remained for freight up to 1966/7.
