The Solway Junction Railway linked Brayton on the Maryport and Carlisle Railway with Kirtlebridge on the Caledonian Railway Main Line. Opened in 1869, this section was closed in 1921 when the Solway Viaduct was closed to traffic. It is not certain what current use is made of the trackbed over the bridge which crosses Seafield Road.
