At Burntbroom. The dismantled bridge in the photo carried the Shettleston to Bothwell railway of the NBR. The contributor just about remembers steam trains running along it. The visible bridge (No.9) beyond was a spur from the aforementioned Shettleston to Bothwell branch of the NBR that served the Barrachnie Colliery from 1913 to 1937.
