The section of the old line between Broughton and Biggar (starting beyond the coal yard in Broughton) is used as a footpath. The section from Neidpath Viaduct to Lyne Station is also a public footpath. When the branch line closed in 1954, the Peebles (West) goods yard continued in use, served by the link line from the NBR line.

The viaduct, which is constructed on a gentle curve, was a conventional masonry structure. [2] It consists of 28 arches, 15 of which being over land to the south of the River Tweed and 13 over the river itself; these were set out in two groups separated by a stop pier. [ 3 ]
The bridge was widened from 8 feet (2.4 m) to 21 feet (6.4 m) in 1834 by adding stonework to both sides. [5] [6] This work was done by John and Thomas Smith of Darnick, and the cost of around £1,000 was funded by public subscription. [5] Between 1897 and 1900, it was widened again to 40 feet (12 m) by adding to the downstream side. [5]
