Near Earlston on B6397

The Google map shows the A6105 on left and the old railway. line


The old Bridge marked on map showing old sign

Although it looks like someone had a stair down to the track its so overgrown you have to look hard to see the wooden handle in the bushes

I am tracing the old line from Gordon back to Earlston. This section cannot be easily walked if at all, as it is very overgrown. The old bridge marked rwr 44 overlooks a very dense foliage and bush noth sides. There was once a stair going down but all overgrown and you would need a cutlass to get down. Further down the track at its juntction with the b road there is what looks like a siding and the farmer has build over it with a shed. Also the railway crosses the B road here and the old bridge has been removed. This is all only 1/2 mile from Earlston going East towards Gordon
