Crawford Viaduct [Camps Reservoir Railway] (1919-1930)Note: text in square brackets is added for clarity and was not part of the location's name.
Opened on the Camps Reservoir Railway.Description
This viaduct carried the 3ft Camps Reservoir Railway (1919-1927) over the River Clyde at Crawford, where there was interchange with the Caledonian Railway's goods station. It was a substantially built bridge with three spans and stone built abutments (with cattlecreeps below each abutment).
The abutments and piers now carry a footbridge. There had been a footbridge over the Clyde just to the west, now gone. This was approached by a footbridge over the main line which still exists.
