Railway bridge without a railway
The bridge no longer carries traffic over it or sees trains under it. It provides pedestrian and cycle access over the top between College Road and College Mains Road, and beneath is the Maxwelltown Path - a cycle and foot way running along the route of the Dumfries to Stranraer railway which was dismantled in 2005.

Structure alongside dismantled railway
The road in the picture is the Maxwelltown Path - a foot and cycle path which follows the line of the dismantled Dumfries to Stranraer railway. This large disused brick built structure stands alongside the line of the railway opposite the BPI Polythene manufacturing plant. The original use of this structure is unknown to me. Suggestions gratefully received.
