Part of the Irvine Town Trail follows an old railway freight line, the Doura Branch, round the eastern side of the New Town area. This line served a major iron works, several coal and ironstone pits, a saw mill and a brick works, though today evidence of these former industries is sparse. Here the alignment passes under Lochlibo Road, near Sourlie, by a skew stone arched bridge, numbered DOA 12, whose maintenance is still the responsibility of the BRB (Residuary) Ltd.
