Former railway viaduct near Washington
-
Description
"This view looks along a viaduct which used to carry a railway across the River Wear. For a view of the viaduct spanning the river, check this image: [[5182890]] This viaduct was on the original route of the railway line between London and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, opened in 1838. Although the main line was rerouted via Durham in 1872, this line continued in use until 1964 for passenger trains, and 1991 for freight. The tracks have now been lifted, but the ballast remains. In the distance, to the left, is the Penshaw Monument." Photo by Malc McDonald, 2016. -
