J R Hume 1977.
This viaduct carries the Aviemore-Inverness 'direct' main line of the former Highland Rly over the former line of the A9 public road to the N of Tomatin church (NH82NW 58) and on the W side of Strathdearn. It remains in regular use by passenger traffic.
The viaduct is depicted (but not noted) on the 1982 edition of the OS 1:10,000 map. The location assigned to this record defines the point where the viaduct passes over the road, a short distance ESE of its midpoint. The available map evidence indicates that it extends from NH c. 80167 29099 to NH c. 80288 29050.
