Swing Bridge East Signal Box

Westbound DMU crossing the (then closed) Forth and Clyde Canal at Swing Bridge East, Falkirk in 1988. The signal box has now gone and the road and level crossing have been replaced with a new road bridge carrying the A9 which was under construction when the photograph was taken (view is from the approach embankment). See image 20841 The basin in the background was very important as a transshipment point, this was where the tramway from the Carron Iron Works terminated.
