The viaduct is around convert 1560 ft m 0 long and comprises forty arches of convert 30 ft m 0 abbr on span, and is convert 100 ft m 0 abbr on high from ground level to trackbed. Citation needed date July 2009 It is built of brick fired from brick clay quarried on site during construction, and took two years to build, including the construction of embankments at both ends which required the movement of around one million tons of earth by human and horse power. It was designed by William Cubitt and styled after a Roman aqueduct . It was originally opened by Queen Victoria on 6 August 1850, but she was so frightened of its height that she refused to travel across it. The train carrying her had to stop, upon which she left the train and entered a horse drawn carriage to travel the length of the bridge on the ground. She then re entered the train at the other end of the viaduct and continued her journey. Citation needed date April 2009 It carries the East Coast Main Line , which has to narrow from four tracks to two to cross the viaduct, making it a wikt bottleneck bottleneck restraining capacity over this strategic transport route. This problem is exacerbated by Welwyn North railway station situated at the northern end of the viaduct, which blocks the line while trains are stationary. Several ideas to overcome the limitations of the viaduct and station without damaging the viaduct s essential historic character and rhythmic design are periodically discussed.

Image Leaderfoot Viaduct 2.jpg thumb 250px Leaderfoot Viaduct Leaderfoot Viaduct is a railway viaduct over the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders , Scotland , UK . It is situated 2.5 km east of Melrose, Scotland Melrose at gbmapping NT574347 . The viaduct was opened on November 16, 1863 to carry the Berwickshire Railway , which connected Reston, Scottish Borders Reston on the East Coast Main Line between Berwick upon Tweed and Edinburgh with St Boswells on the Edinburgh to Carlisle Waverley Line , via Duns and Greenlaw . The engineers of the railway were Charles Jopp and Wylie & Peddie. The arches, each of convert 43 ft m span, are of brickwork , and the abutment s, pier s and walls are of rustic faced red sandstone . Some later strengthening of the abutments and piers with old rails and buttress es on the southern valley side is very obvious. The railway was severed by flooding during August 1948, after which passenger trains never ran west of Duns. Freight trains continued to run across the viaduct as far as Greenlaw until July 19, 1965. The viaduct is in good condition, having been renovated by Historic Scotland between 1992 and 1995. Good views of it can be obtained from Drygrange Bridge and the modern A68 road bridge immediately downriver. There has been talk of including the viaduct in the local Trail footpath network but it is not normally open to the public, although access to the bridge is fairly easy for those who wish to go up.

Garndiffaith Viaduct is a brickwork railway viaduct that formerly carried the Brynmawr and Blaenavon Railway over the valley at Abersychan in South Wales . It was built by the engineer John Gardiner between 1871 4 to extend the London and North Western Railway line that principally carried coal from Brynmawr and Blaenavon to meet the Great Western Railway at Abersychan and Talywain railway station Abersychan and Talywain . In 1912 the lines were opened to passenger services operated by the GWR as well as mineral trains, making it easier for miners and other workers to travel up and down the valley. This service ceased in 1941 due to the exigencies of the Second World War , but the viaduct remained in use until 1980 when the last mineral train left Blaenavons Big Pit mine. The track was shortly dismantled by British Rail thereafter. Today the viaduct has survived into preservation and is in relatively good condition, now forming part of the National Cycle Network National Cycle Network Route 46 . Reopening the viaduct to railway traffic has become one of the long term ambitions of the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway as the viaduct is wide enough to accommodate route sharing.
