![A walk along the Jedburgh branch came to an abrupt halt at the missing bridge by Kirkbank. The view looks to Jedburgh in 1998.

![Like the marooned hulk of some ancient battleship, the massive stone pier that once supported the railway bridge carrying the Jedburgh branch over the Teviot still stands defiant alongside the south bank of the river near the remains of Jedfoot station.

![Remains of the wooden platform at Jedfoot station in February 2018, seen from the site of the level crossing looking north towards Roxburgh. The goods yard and goods platform were located on the east side of the station [see image 20135]. Opened in 1856 as Jedfoot Bridge, the name change took place in 1913. Passenger services between Jedburgh and Roxburgh were withdrawn in 1948, although the branch remained open for goods traffic until 1966.

![The southern approach to Jedfoot station in February 2018, looking south towards Jedburgh from alongside the A698. At this point the trackbed runs parallel with the Jed Water just off to the right.

![After leaving the terminus at Jedburgh the line ran north for a mile and a half before crossing a bridge over the Jed Water on the approach to Jedfoot station.
