The old bridge carrying Towers Road, Airdrie, looking west along the trackbed in December 2008. On the other side of the bridge is the site of Clarkston (Lanarks) station (1862 - 1956), while just out of site in the distance is the then eastern terminus of the North Clyde Line at Drumgelloch. A year later the bridge was no more, removed and replaced as part of the Airdrie - Bathgate project see image 69957. A year after that, in December 2010, trains were running once again. The delayed replacement Drumgelloch station opened just beyond the bridge in March 2011.
