Wolfclyde Viaduct (1860-1966)Opened on the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway.
Description
This viaduct, also known as the Coulter Viaduct, crossed the River Clyde directly west of Coulter station and a level crossing. Two large piers in the river itself were large enough to carry a double track bridge, but only single track girders were laid (which would have carried the eastbound track had the bridge been doubled). To the west the girders were carried by four single track piers. Both abutments were double track in size. There were seven girders, with an overall length of 339ft.
Only the piers remain today.
The bridge was named for Wolfclyde, the location of the bridge and station, Coulter itself is to the south.
