A bridge spanning the River Tay that was closed as part of the infamous Beeching cuts is to be at the centre of rail celebrations.
The 50th anniversary of the closure of Logierait Bridge, which carried the Ballinluig to Aberfeldy branch line in Perthshire, was marked on Friday.
The bridge closed on May 1 1965 as a result of the Beeching cuts the reduction of the rail route network in the UK.
In 1964 the Tay viaduct passed into the hands of the Kinnaird Estate and 30 years later the land was gifted to the local community, who founded the Logierait Bridge Company.
At the turn of the millennium the bridge was restored at a cost of around £400,000 and reopened as a community-owned road bridge.
Latterly it has been used by cars, tractors, delivery vans and horses, and is part of the Sustrans National Cycle network.
Locals said as many as 200 vehicles were recently recorded making the bridge crossing in a day.
John Fry, of the Logierait Bridge Company committee, said: “Despite this heavy usage, maintenance of the bridge is met very largely from subscriptions and donations from local residents and businesses.
“On June 20 a celebration is to be held at the bridge to mark 150th year of the opening of the branch line and the 50th anniversary of the last train to cross this splendid old bridge.”
