Description

Ribblehead viaduct Designed by the engineer John Sydney Crossley. The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874. It is 104 feet (32 m) high and spans 440 yards (402 m). It is made up of twenty-four arches. It is located at the foot of the mountain of Whernside. The viaduct is curved, and so may be seen by passengers on the train.

Railway goes over the top I presume... Would be an expensive item for just a road wouldn't it:) Beautiful landscape and another great sky.

Railroads built a new world. And this pic show some of the old magic, the old spirit... It looks very lonely, but what must it be a place when hundreds or thousands of workers built this bridge? A wonderful catch and an eyecatcher for railroaders like me! Thanks for sharing!
