Archaeologists have discovered the remains of Scotland’s earliest standard gauge railway in Cockenzie, East Lothian. Believed to have been in use as early as 1775, the 1435mm (4’8.5″) wide wooden railway may even predate the Willington Waggonway of Newcastle, previously believed to be the oldest standard gauge railway. That 1435mm track gauge would spread from the gravity-and-horse-powered waggon railways to become the standard for the steam-powered trains of the 19th century. The excavation is part of the Waggonway 1722 Project‘s community heritage initiative to investigate and preserve the Tranent – Cockenzie Waggonway, the earliest recorded railway of any gauge in Scotland. It was built in 1722 by the York Buildings Company to carry coal from the pits at Tranent to the industrial saltworks of Cockenzie where salt was produced by evaporating seawater in large vats known as salt pans. The loaded waggons went down the railway powered by gravity with brakemen overseeing. The empty wagons were pulled back up to the coal pits by horses. An enormous quantity of coal was necessary to feed the pans — 2,000 tons a year — which amounted to more than a dozen full waggon deliveries per day, six days a week. To support these frequent runs of great weight, the waggonway had double height rails to overcome the difficulty of moving heavy wooden carts laden with tons of coal over soggy ground. It featured one sets of rail “floated” on top of another, the lower rails connected and stabilized by tie beams. The timbers were cut square and joined with wooden dowels called trenails. Archaeologists and volunteers have uncovered 65 feet of the railway so far, including preserved sections of rail and ties with their original trenails. “The dig has been another huge success for the project,” said Ed Bethune, chair of the Waggonway Project. “We have yet again, with the combined help of professionals and community volunteers, added significant information to the archaeological record and made new discoveries to add to the incredible history of this earliest of Scottish railways. “To discover that this gauge, which we consider ‘modern’, was in use earlier than we could have imagined, is not only exciting but nationally significant.”

Washington, D.C. —In an unusually candid admission, current FBI Director Kash Patel told reporters Friday that the Bureau is considering “making up a bunch of other fake ass texts” to help move forward the investigation into the recent shooting of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Speaking at a press conference, Patel explained, “I think the fake ass texts our Boomer FBI agents wrote as if they were young kids in the furry and trans community went over really well with the public, so we’re looking to write some more to bring in some accomplices. We may even include this thing called emojis that the kids are using—fire, skulls, maybe a goat. They’ll be really, really authentic.” Patel defended the potential move as “standard modern law enforcement practice.” He added, “Look, we live in an era where perception is reality. If we can perceive these texts hard enough, the reality part will take care of itself.” The FBI chief was pressed on whether fabricated evidence could withstand scrutiny in court. Patel shrugged. “Juries don’t read evidence. They read vibes. And we’ve got the vibes covered.” Reaction to Patel’s remarks has been mixed. Civil liberties groups called the statement “an unvarnished confession of institutional corruption,” while major media outlets praised his “refreshing transparency.” MSNBC’s Joy Reid commented, “Frankly, if he’s making up texts, it’s probably because those people were thinking them anyway.” At press time, Patel confirmed that his team had already drafted a new “evidence thread” titled ‘We Totally Planned This Shooting, LOL’, complete with timestamps, incriminating typos, and a random Drake lyric for realism.
