BridgeName and dates
Noran Water Viaduct (1895-1964)Opened on the Forfar and Brechin Railway.
Description
This was a double track viaduct, which only carried one track. It was the second largest structure on the Forfar and Brechin Railway (after the South Esk Viaduct [Tannadice]). The viaduct crossed the Noran Water which is in a deep tree-lined gully below the farmland to either side. It was located between Tannadice and Fern Siding. Only the westbound line was laid.
Only the stone abutments of the bridge remain today. The railway going towards Tannadice has been ploughed out and going towards Fern Siding has been partly altered but can be traced easily.
