The Dundee and Newtyle Railway opened in 1831 and was the first railway in the north of Scotland. It was built to carry goods between Dundee and the fertile area known as Strathmore; this involved crossing the Sidlaw Hills, and was accomplished with three rope-worked inclined planes. Newtyle was simply a remote railhead, and the anticipated traffic volumes were not achieved, the inclines incurred heavy operating costs, and the railway never made money.

Se construyó para transportar mercancías entre Dundee y la zona fértil conocida como . El recorrido implicaba cruzar el relieve de las , lo que se logró con tres planos inclinados remontados utilizando sogas. Newtyle era simplemente una cabecera del ferrocarril remota, y no se lograron los volúmenes de tráfico previstos.
