A close up of the damaged parapet on the Carron Water Bridge, which collapsed the previous day on 16th January 2021 (See news item). Network Rail engineers can be seen firing up the chainsaw so I might get some better photos once the trees have been felled, but my Apple Watch tells me this will involve another hike of 9.19 miles.

A close up of the Carron Water Bridge near Carmont on 17th January 2021, the day after the parapet collapsed causing the line to be closed again. This image shows how the collapsing stonework has also pulled down the guard rails and exposed the trackbed and ballast.

The day after the parapet of the Carron Water bridge collapsed the debris can be seen littering the embankment. The river channel was improved during summer 2020, to prevent the viaduct being undermined, but this damage has occurred 'top down'. This was the scene on 17th January 2021 with line closed and engineers on site.
