Tweedmouth
Dock Road Viaduct on the former zig-zag line opened in 1878 to link Tweedmouth goods yard with the recently opened Tweed Dock. The viaduct carried the line from the yard down to a reversing spur beyond the shrubbery in the left background, with the final half mile leg running back via a second viaduct and embankment (now both removed) to reach the dock behind the camera. The line was closed during the 1960s, following which part of the route (including the surviving viaduct) was incorporated in a public walkway. View is south east along Dock Road in October 2012.
