- The Dundee and Forfar direct line was a railway line opened by the Caledonian Railway in 1870, connecting the important county town of Forfar with the harbour and manufacturing town of Dundee. It crossed sparsely populated and hilly terrain, and encouraged residential travel to Dundee and enabled a shorter route for Kirriemuir to reach Dundee. Traffic declined after 1945 and the passenger service was withdrawn on 10 January 1955. Goods services continued for some time, but the line closed completely in 1967. (en)
