Was the APT shed not at Shields Road? Thats where I remember seeing them, rather than Polmadie.

There are a couple of pics here of the far side of the loading bank. These may also be of help. John

I have attached a spreadsheet which has the 1953 WTT recalculated to give approximate timings at Inverkeilor. This may be of some use to you. John Inverkeilor 1953.xls

My late father-in-law who was a fireman/driver out of Dundee from the early 40's onwards described the Aberdeen fish trains as the hardest work he ever did. Passenger train timings with none of the breaks, (station stops). In the early 50's departures from Aberdeen were at [1953 TT] 12:30 KX, 1:40 KX, 1:55 Law Jcn, 5:50 Edinburgh, 8:55 Manchester and 7:45 Perth. The makeup at that time would be ex LNER/ex LMS vans, mostly in bauxite (so looking like standard vans) with some insulated and increasing numbers of what became known as Blue Spots. Usually hauled by a Pacific or a V2. Very often, in fact, the exact same engines that visitors to Dundee regularly describe in photo captions as "being on standby" when actually they simply worked when the photographer was tucked up in bed. I think nowadays we have very little sense of just how huge this traffic was and what was involved in getting it run without delays. John

Absolutely Ian. Fraserburgh would be the other end of the branch. I through these things in to see if anyone is paying attention! I have an Aberchirder, which I of course call Fogey in P4, but that has rather been overtaken with the 7mm bug. Thanks John

The boss folk from Aberdeen have had someone out with a camera; There's not much to see at this wee station, just a few wagons waiting to go to Peterhead.
