Details A level 1 standing building survey was conducted by CFA in October 2008 to record the visible remains of the tank shed, engine shed and footbridge on the disused Fochabers Branch line at Mosstodloch prior to their demolition for the construction of the A96 Fochabers to Mosstodloch Bypass (see also NJ35NW0015). The tank shed was a rectangular structure comprising large, dressed sandstone blocks with an arched doorway and arched window. It was 6.6m long by 3.7m wide. The engine shed was heavily overgrown and inaccessible, with the visible remains comprising concrete plinths 0.2m high and 0.35m wide. The footbridge that spanned the disused Fochabers Branch line was arched and stone built comprising large, dressed sandstone blocks and smaller sandstone brickwork beneath the arch. The bridge was heavily overgrown and continued to a length of 18m.
