Polkemmet Junction
The bridge in the background stands alongside Whitburn Road in Bathgate. It is located north east of the former Polkemmet Junction and carried the line from Bathgate Upper station over a burn and on towards Armadale. Part of Balbardie Steel Works stands in the left background. The old railway bridge is now part of a walkway and still looks in remarkably good condition - which is more than can be said for the adjacent road bridge. For the view 11 years later (see image 72020).
