The most expensive railway in Britain

Much better day today as we had some day light. It was still bitterly cold, but felt so much better out walking today.
Reggie isn't very good in the car yet, ( travel sick) so we keep trying to take him in it in the hope that he gets used to it. Today we just drove up to Cullingworth and went for a walk along the Great Northern Trail. This is what the Trails website says about the viaduct. Hewenden Viaduct - Grade II listed. Dramatically located some 270 metres above sea level, crossing Hewenden Beck on 16 masonry piers. The viaduct is approximately 312 metres long, built on a curved plan rising 38 metres above the beck. It has a gradient of 1.2% down towards Cullingworth and is constructed of Rough Rock Gritstone from Manywell Heights quarry (south of the viaduct) with brick arch barrels. It was built in 1880/1.
It is said that the line between Queensbury and Cullingworth is regarded by railway historians as the pinnacle of Victorian railway engineering and construction. I can't disagree, and I still marvel at it every time I see it. I have also read somewhere but I can't find the reference that it was the most expensive railway ever built because the amount of tunnels and viaducts.

Reggie enjoyed his walk too, and made the return journey in the car without a problem. Could be a long way to the Dordogne with him in August, but Culingworth return will do for now!
