Old Photographs Railway Station Hawick Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Hawick, Scotland. Tour Scottish Borders. The last train to cross Hawick station viaduct did so on 18 April 1971. The South signalbox was demolished on the 13th of July 1972, while work on dismantling the station buildings and goods shed started on the 20th of January 1975. Demolition of the viaduct over the River Teviot commenced nine months later, on the 1st of September 1975. After the closure and lifting of the line, the parcels office at Hawick and Galashiels remained open and British Rail vans continued to carry parcels traffic by road for a few more years.
