Situated some 30m SW of Bridge No.29 (NT07SE 33.03) are the landscaped abutments of the former railway bridge which carried the mineral railway from the main Edinburgh - Glasgow railway line at West Farm (NT 0980 7350) over the canal into the Oil Shale works at Broxburn.
Information from RCAHMS (DE) August 1996
The abutments of this bridge, which carried a railway line connected with the shale works, are clearly visible. The bridge was recently dismantled, having been abandoned once the works closed.
