Solway Junction Railway Viaduct Remains
Highlight • Monument
The Solway Junction Railway was built by an independent railway company to shorten the route from ironstone mines in Cumberland to ironworks in Lanarkshire and Ayrshire.
It opened in 1869, and it involved a viaduct 1 mile 8 chains (1.8 km) long crossing the Solway Firth.
Initially it was a goods line only but passenger services were later introduced after some rebuilding of the structure. However the mineral trade did not live up to expectations and there were moves to close the line.
World War 1 saved it for a while as there were big munitions factories on the Scottish side at Eastriggs. In 1917, King George and Queen Mary travelled over it on their tour of Armaments Factories .
Being susceptible to damage from the tides and ice forming in the Estuary, it was closed down in May 1921. The structure was dismantled by the end of 1933.
You can see the remains of the ironwork on the English side and the Scotish side from here.
