Dundurn Viaduct
This is the parapet of the Dundurn Viaduct viewed from the former trackbed. This part of the line was opened in 1901, the same year as the Mallaig Extension opened - and both made use of mass concrete. The contractor for this part of the line was John Paton CE of Glasgow. Sadly he was to die aged only 42 when construction of the second portion (west to Lochearnhead) was in hand in January 1902. Born in 1861, he had been resident engineer on the Killin Branch, under John Strain, worked on the Airdrie and Newhouse branches, and he was the contractor for the building of the new Crieff station when the line to Comrie opened.
