Scope and Content Remains of railway viaduct, Dalmarnock, Glasgow This viaduct was one of two across the Clyde at this point. This was the older, built for the Caledonian Railway for its London Road goods branch from Rutherglen. It had bowed malleable iron trusses, perhaps the first in Scotland. This view shows the piers of the bridge from the south east. These are made of cast iron cylindrical sections, with cast iron braces between. The cylinders are filled with concrete. The bowed trusses were probably removed in the mid 1970s. This was the first of a series of such bridges, probably designed for the Caledonian and other railways by B and E Blyth of Edinburgh, but nominally by George Graham, chief engineer of the CR.
