The Wemyss Private Railway was built to convey coal and minerals and was almost entirely within the estate of the Wemyss family. Until 1926 a passenger service was provided for their miners too.

After 1947, the network was operated jointly with the National Coal Board but it remained independent through to closure in around 1970.
