Tata Steel has begun delivery of rail which will carry thousands of passengers every day on the longest completely new rail line to be built in the UK in more than 100 years.
The Borders Railway will see 30 miles of track being laid south of Edinburgh linking outlying communities with the city.
As part of its rail supply contract with Network Rail, Tata Steel will supply more than 7,000 tonnes of rails in 108 metre lengths into the project.
The new Borders Railway will see four new stations built in Midlothian and three in the Scottish Borders. Trains will run every half hour at peak times and journey times between Tweedbank and Edinburgh will take less than one hour.
