Something different. Unit 156507 operating 2W65 1603 Glasgow Queen Street to Anniesland crosses the Maryhill Viaduct. Actually 2 viaducts side by side, each built by a different railway company. The original company wouldn’t give the other running powers over theirs (they joined 100 yards to the right!) so the 2nd one built theirs next to the other. Only one is currently used.
