What is recorded here

Bridge in Rinmore has fancy stonework even underneath its arch, where the train passengers couldn’t possibly admire it. That mason was the sort of man who’d polish the bottom of his shoes in case he was carried out of a wedding.

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1851, carrying Dublin to Galway railway line over road. Rock-faced rusticated walls, round arch with rock-faced rusticated voussoirs and soffit. Cut-stone parapet walls and string course, snecked roughly dressed abutments with dressed copings.
This robustly constructed bridge in rusticated limestone is typical of railway engineering and architecture of the mid-nineteenth-century. The rock-faced voussoirs are a distinctive feature and the rustication of the soffit of the arch is well executed, indicating the skill employed in the design and execution of this bridge.
