The Eyemouth Railway was a three-mile single track branch line in Berwickshire, Scotland, connecting Eyemouth with Burnmouth on the East Coast Main Line.
It was built by a local company, but they struggled to raise money, and the line was in effect funded by local wealthy businessmen. It opened in 1891.
In 1948, the viaduct that carried the line over the Eye Water was partly undermined as a result of heavy rainfall, and the line was closed for a year while repairs were undertaken. The line later succumbed to road competition, and it closed in 1962.
