Dalry and North Johnstone Line
Bridge over a disused railway built in an era when the current line between Paisley and Ayrshire could not cope with the volume of freight needing shifting. This relief line on the west side of the lochs was closed to passengers in 1966 and freight shortly afterwards. I have a 1:50 000 map with a small length still marked - northwards to Kilbirnie. Now it is a very popular cycle path - part of National Cycle Route 7 which takes a circuitous route between Carlisle and Glasgow via Galloway. The railway looping around the opposite side of the lochs from the original line is also known as the Kilbarchan Loop, or Lochwinnoch Loop.
The bridge carries a minor road over one of the many cuttings. The bridge uses concrete, the railway being built around 1905.
