The Dundee and Newtyle Railway opened in 1831 and was the first railway in the north of Scotland. It was built to carry goods between Dundee and the fertile area known as Strathmore; this involved crossing the Sidlaw Hills, and was accomplished with three rope-worked inclined planes. Newtyle was simply a remote railhead, and the anticipated traffic volumes were not achieved, the inclines incurred heavy operating costs, and the railway never made money.

  • The Dundee and Newtyle Railway opened in 1831 and was the first railway in the north of Scotland. It was built to carry goods between Dundee and the fertile area known as Strathmore; this involved crossing the Sidlaw Hills, and was accomplished with three rope-worked inclined planes. Newtyle was simply a remote railhead, and the anticipated traffic volumes were not achieved, the inclines incurred heavy operating costs, and the railway never made money. Responding to the criticism of the remote Newtyle station, two further railways were built; these were nominally independent but for practical purposes were branches of the Dundee line. The lines were the Newtyle and Coupar Angus Railway and the Newtyle and Glammiss Railway; they opened in 1837 - 1838. The extension lines did not transform the finances of the main railway, but when the Scottish Midland Junction Railway wanted to build a main line between Perth and Forfar, it adopted the lines and upgrading them, incorporating them in to the route of the new main line. The Dundee and Newtyle Railway was taken over by the Dundee and Perth Railway and the difficult inclines were by-passed by circuitous and more easily graded routes in the period 1860 to 1868. Nonetheless the line declined and closed to passengers in 1955. The Coupar Angus and Glammis (Glamis) lines continued as part of the Forfar main line, but that closed in 1967. (en)
  • El Ferrocarril de Dundee y Newtyle (en inglés, Dundee and Newtyle Railway, abreviado como DNR) se inauguró en 1831 y fue la primera vía férrea en el norte de Escocia. Se construyó para transportar mercancías entre Dundee y la zona fértil conocida como . El recorrido implicaba cruzar el relieve de las , lo que se logró con tres planos inclinados remontados utilizando sogas. Newtyle era simplemente una cabecera del ferrocarril remota, y no se lograron los volúmenes de tráfico previstos. Además, los planos inclinados se tradujeron en altos costos operativos y el ferrocarril nunca generó ganancias. En respuesta a las críticas a la elección de la aislada estación de Newtyle, se construyeron dos ferrocarriles más. Ambos eran nominalmente independientes, pero a efectos prácticos eran ramas de la línea de Dundee. Las líneas eran el "Ferrocarril de Newtyle y Coupar Angus" y el "Ferrocarril de Newtyle y Glammiss", que se abrieron en 1837-1838. La extensión de las líneas no transformó las finanzas del ferrocarril principal, pero cuando el quiso construir una línea principal entre Perth y Forfar, adoptó las líneas y las mejoró, incorporándolas a la ruta de la nueva línea principal. El Ferrocarril de Dundee y Newtyle fue asumido por el y las limitantes rampas de los planos inclinados fueron rodeadas mediante rutas tortuosas aunque más fáciles de nivelar en el período de 1860 a 1868. No obstante, la actividad de la línea disminuyó progresivamente, y se cerró a los pasajeros en 1955. Coupar Angus y Glammis (Glamis) continuaron como parte de la línea principal de Forfar, que a su vez se cerró en 1967. (es)
