Scope and Content Cross-section of train-shed, Haymarket Station, Edinburgh Haymarket Station was originally the head office and terminus of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. It was designed by the civil engineer John Miller or possibly by David Bell, who prepared some designs for him in the 1840s. In this cross-section of the train-shed the columns are seen supporting the roof-trusses. The shorter columns were on the platform side of the shed. The columns on the other side were supported on stone pedestals. By 1845 the railways were booming in Scotland. This led to many changes. People became more mobile, towns were linked, perishable goods could be moved long distances, and economic growth was encouraged. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
