The Newbie Branch, Newbie Siding[1] or Cochran & Cos Siding[2] was a freight or mineral branch in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, located just west of Annan off the old Glasgow and South Western Railway main line. The 0.5 mile or circa 800 metres line once served the Cochran & Co. Boiler factory and the Newbie Brick and Tile Works at Newbie.[3] The line was accessed at Newbie Junction and was approached from the west.[4]
