Earlston

The railway was important to Earlston and since its removal; the town has declined. It ran behind what is now the coop. Here is a picture of what was an old road bridge over the railway which was quite low as can be seen.

Almost all the railway has been used up for industrial development and the new school. The google image shows it entering the town to the right but other than the tunnel indicated it is not very easy to trace and impossible to walk. If one takes the railway road out of Earlston past the coop and then takes a sharp left down into an industrial area with a lot of old car wrecks the railway can be seen but its fenced so no access.
