<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/mrpb27/">mrpb27</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/mrpb27/55390408330/" title="Archy"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55390408330_ee2d80d9d5_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Archy" /></a></p> <p>The viaduct (also known as the Drygrange Viaduct) was opened in 1865 to carry the Berwickshire Railway, which connected Reston (on the East Coast Main Line between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Edinburgh) with St Boswells (on the Edinburgh to Carlisle &quot;Waverley Line&quot;), via Duns and Greenlaw. The engineers of the railway were Charles Jopp and Wylie &amp; Peddie.<br /> <br /> The nineteen arches, each of 43 feet (13 m) span, are of brickwork, and the abutments, piers and spandrel walls are of rustic-faced red sandstone. The highest arch is 120 ft (37m) above the river Tweed. Some later reinforcement of piers on the south bank with old rails and buttresses was required. The railway was severed by flooding during August 1948, after which passenger trains never ran west of Duns. Freight trains continued to run across the viaduct as far as Greenlaw until July 19, 1965.<br /> <br /> It was upgraded from Category B to A listing in 1986. Historic Scotland took over control of the viaduct from British Rail in 1996 and it was renovated by Historic Scotland between 1992 and 1995. <br /> ----<br /> <a
