Lyne Viaduct (1864-1954)

Opened on the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Extension Railway (Caledonian Railway).

Description

This disused single track viaduct, directly east of the former Lyne station crosses over the Lyne Water and a minor road. The viaduct, with castellated piers with deeply carved crosses, has three masonry arches and a plate girder over the minor road (to the west). The total length is 133 ft. It bears a strong resemblance to Neidpath Viaduct, further east on the same line.
