Full Description
The course of a rail-bed, following the S side of the pipeline from The Blackwater Dam (NN26SW 3.00) was observed during a pre-afforestation survey by AOC (Scotland Ltd). The tracks are set into concrete and are 0.5m apart. A pylon beside the track suggests that there was originally an overhead cable. The pylon stands 6.5m in height and consists of two uprights which are 3m apart and a cross bar carrying winch gear. There is a 5m long brace extending from the pylon into the hillside above the rail line. It is situated immediately W of the buildings where the open conduit changes into a pipeline.
