The Dunse Branch of the North British Line of Railway consists of a double line of rails, commencing at Reston and terminating at Dunse, a distance of 8 3/4 miles. The line after leaving Reston passes thro' [through] a cutting nearly a mile in length and of no great depth, About a mile and a half from Reston there is a siding to accommodate the farm of Auchencraw Mains, and some of its neighbours.
A little further on, the line enters upon an extensive embankment carrying the rail across a deep valley; it then passes for some distance along the vale of Billy Burn and soon reaches Chirnside Station.
Immediately after passing Chirnside the Whiteadder Water is crossed by a fine viaduct of five arches and some distance further on, the line enters a deep excavation nearly a mile in length and, arrives at Edrom Station. About two miles further on it passes along an embankment and enters a deep cutting, which terminates a little below [Manstone?]: where there is a small station, the line then passes almost upon a level to the terminus, which is situated nearly a quarter of a mile south of the town, See P.
