Garroch Viaduct
The cordoned off deck of Garroch Viaduct, 2 miles south west of Dumfries, seen looking through the security fence towards Stranraer in May 2007. The viaduct carried traffic on the Port Road until closure of the line as a through route in 1965, following which it continued for many years to serve the ICI plant that stood in the right background (much of the area is now a business park). Final closure of this remaining section came in 1994. The Maxwelltown Railway Path now occupies the old trackbed from a point just behind the camera back to Dumfries. (The western access to the path can be seen bottom right.) See image 15525.
