Alloa Swing Bridge
The Alloa Swing Bridge was a railway swing bridge across the River Forth that connected Throsk and Alloa as part of the Alloa Railway. The structure was in use until 1968 and was demolished in 1971.〔http://www.flickr.com/photos/rcahms/10993445434/in/photostream/〕
==History==
The Caledonian Railway obtained authority through an Act of Parliament on 11 August 1879〔http://www.forgottenrelics.co.uk/bridges/gallery/alloa.html〕 to open a section of line linking the South Alloa Branch of the Scottish Central Railway to the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway.〔http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/projects/SAK-railway-project/the-project/history-of-the-route〕 The new line served passenger and goods traffic and was opened on 1 October 1885. The rail line was double track except for the bridge crossing, which was single track. The swing bridge design was necessary to allow the passage of shipping up and downstream at a time when Stirling was still an active port.〔http://www.fyca.org.uk/Cruising/CruisingGuide/cruisingP17.htm〕〔http://www.panoramicearth.com/4441/Stirling/Stirling_Old_Harbour〕
