Whitrope Siding, Railway museum station in Hermitage, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom
The Whitrope Heritage Centre features two historical railway carriages housing exhibits, artifacts, and photographs documenting the regional railway development over time.
The station operated as a goods loading bay with railway cottages and a signal box along the Waverley Line before transforming into a heritage center.
The Border Union Railway preserves Scottish transportation heritage through its collection of locomotives, including a shunter and a Ruston 48DS from Rocks by Rail.
The heritage center operates from 10 AM to 4 PM on specified days throughout the year, with complete weekend schedules during special calendar events.
Located near Whitrope Tunnel at 1006 feet above sea level, the site maintains 800 meters of track extending from the tunnel over the summit toward Bridge 200.
