Wrong side of the pit for that

There was once another railway line there that looks like it may have gone to Drax, or is that still the wrong side? I need to get a life I think.

The Dearne Valley Railway ran through here and this bridge likely crossed it.

Reminds me of my Lego pencil sharpener that I take with me on my travels, never looks happy but tbf his tooth is missing so he hasn’t eaten for some time. Probably worthy of its own thread.

Corriemulzie Bridge, near Braemar, above the Corriemulzie Gorge/Falls. Carlton Corsair, 1981, test ride after service:

The stream and gorge are now used to generate hydro electric, 100kW via a community hydro scheme.


Nice ride, just raining on my polish, Corsair riding well.
