The bridge carried the Margate Sands Branch, which opened in 1846 and closed on 2 July 1926. The branch was a single line until 1863 and all trains had to reverse at Ramsgate. In 1863, the line was doubled and a triangular junction was completed at St Lawrence. The suffix “Sands” was added in 1889. Image was built on the site of Margate Sands station.
