This scene is the subject of a very fine model railway set in 1883, which is on the exhibition circuit and can be seen at: -

This site is really worth a visit to see this wonderful representation of the historical scene that includes the train ferry, which operated before the construction of the Forth Railway Bridge. This is railway modelling at its best as a piece of historic research and realisation.
