Totem, BR(Sc) RESTON, F/F. Ex North British Railway station on the East Coast Main Line between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Dunbar, junction for the one time link to St Boswells and the Waverley Route via Duns. Opened on the 22nd June 1846 with the Branch to Duns opening on the 13th August 1849. Closed to passengers on the 10th September 1951 and completely on the 7th November 1966. A couple of minor chips, one below the 'N' and one insignificantly near the border. Good colour but a little flat. A great rarity, first time on the market and the very first station on the main line from Berwick to have totems, the next being East Linton beyond Dunbar.
