The light railway line was built to carry both raw materials and finished paper products between Bowater's paper mills at Sittingbourne and Kemsley. It runs on this low concrete viaduct which has been decaying steadily over the years. The railway line is kept open by a group of enthusiasts who run steam trains on it through the summer http://www.sklr.net/ and have done a lot of work in recent years to maintain the viaduct.
