Inverkip Tunnels (1865-)Opened on the Greenock and Wemyss Bay Railway.
Description
There are two single bore tunnels just west of Inverkip on the line to Wemyss Bay. The present tunnel, the older dating from 1865, was retained,. The newer tunnel, a little to the south east of the original, slightly longer and dating from the doubling of 1903, is out of use. Both tunnels are on a gentle curve so that the line entering from the east turns southwards
