This spindly dude is the Gaunless Bridge, designed by George Stephenson in 1823; removed in 1901. One of the first railway bridges made of iron, and the first to use an iron truss. It’s been restored & repainted to original colours; it’s today displayed on New Hall approach. Nice

Replying to @RAIL
@RAIL @RailwaysToday @rlyherald @bonessrailway @falkirk_herald It is with great sadness that we have been subject to vandalism and fire raising at our 30 year old ‘O’ Gauge model railway at the Bo’ness and Kinneil railway during the early hours of Sunday morning.
