While researching some info for my own layout I came across this picture (http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2887751). Can anyone explain what's going on here with the lower part as it doesn't make a lot of sense to me :confused1:
Note: I kept it as a link as I got just as confused about the copyright thingymajig as I did with the bridge.

That looks like they've braced the walls of the arch for some reason. Possibly one of the supports was bulging?
Interesting! Not quite as picturesque as those two bridges in Canada, though, where the CN crosses the CP ( or is it the other way round?)
I agree though, it looks like some sort of bracing. It's sure spoilt the look of the bridge!
Definitely looks like some kind of bracing. (Either that or a deterrent to giraffes).
It's there to chop the top off double decker busses :D
I used to have one of those Triang boxcars with the giraffe sticking out that would duck when it went under a bridge.... :worried:

I'm having enough trouble with 1 thanks
Here is a link to a bridge over a bridge near me. Its on the now Metro Link line from M/cr to Bury, it used to be the old L&Y elecy Line.The M62 Motorway goes underneath.

Wouldn't it easier to have a Triang boxcar with a duck sticking out? Then it wouldn't need to duck.

Seeing as it's Christmas Day here in Australia I'll pretend I didn't see that post. ;D
Merry Christmas! :beers:
