Cast iron lattice railway bridge spanning the Gala Water immediately N of Bowshank Tunnel (NT44SE 28.04). A steel girder separates the two rail tracks. The bridge has brick and stone piers and abutments.
The remains of a concrete sand box was noted at the N end on the W side of the trackbed.
Photographed in 2007 as part of a survey of Waverley Line remains in advance of proposed rebuilding of the railway and to enhance and augment the existing holdings of the National Monuments Record Scotland.
