Track bed of the old Bredisholm railway built in 1850 which connected the original Bredisholm pits to the Drumpeller Railway a half mile away near Luggie Bridge from where coals were carried uphill to the canal port at Cuilhill for transhipment onto barges. Horses were used to pull the wagons on this line before pugs were introduced in the 1870s.
