Crawford Viaduct [Camps Reservoir Railway]
In 1916 Lanark County Council started construction of Camps Reservoir in the hills 3.5 miles east of Crawford. A 3 foot gauge railway was built from Crawford, being completed around 1924, with the reservoir opening in 1930 and the line being lifted ten years later. The photograph shows the viaduct that carried the line over the Clyde, close to the former Crawford Goods Yard (interchange). The well defined trackbed passes between the cottages in the background and heads for the hills.
