 The railway crosses the River Trym on this rather attractive bridge. |
 Another view of the bridge. |
 Looking along the bridge with a storm fast approaching. |
 The bridge has been singled and the trackbed that was once the down line is now used only by maintenance vehicles. |
 The bridge viewed from the other side. |
 A more detailed look at the bridge and the supporting piers. |
