"In December 1885, the Natal Main Line reached Estcourt and the Bushmans river was spanned by this fine bridge. In 1914, with the opening of the electrified deviation, the old Main Line as far as Willow Grange was kept in operation until closed in 1949. Today, with just on 2 miles of original track open, the bridge is still in use serving the bacon factory sidings." (Source: Soul of A Railway)
