Cartsburn Tunnel South
The east portals of Greenock's southern Cartsburn Tunnels, photographed on Sunday 11 August 1963 looking towards Wemyss Bay. The second (south) tunnel was constructed when the branch was doubled early in the 20th century but was rendered redundant when it was singled once again following electrification in the 1960s. The plate girder bridge carries the line to Princes Pier, located one and a half miles to the north west.
