Fairlie Junction
Bridge No 2 on the Fairlie Branch, just east of Arrothill Farm looking southeast to Caprington, 07 November, 2009. Bridge was built for the opening of the branch, 26 February, 1849 and remains in remarkably good condition despite closure of the branch on 07 April, 1951 (having gone out of use in November, 1950), its care and maintenance being the responsibility of British Railways Residuary and its successors. Given the restricted headroom, this is a rather odd survivor in these days of unrestricted access to everywhere.
