Photographed by T. Martin on the 20th of June 1964 BR Standard 4MT class 2-6-4T No 80096 with an Oswestry to Whitchurch service is about to pass over the former GWR Shrewsbury to Chester mainline by means of a steel plate girder bridge.
As far as photography goes this shot is pretty much run of the mill, however, as far as the location is concerned it is, in my mind historically priceless. The few pictures I've seen of Whittington High-Level illustrate the railway after closure. perhaps the only downside is that it wasn't taken from the opposite end of the bridge.
The former Whittington High-Level Station lay a couple of chains length beyond the bridge (Whitchurch Side) which had been closed since the 4th of January 1960. I suspect by this time little remained of its existence.

Only on two days of the week (Friday and Saturday) does CrossCountry provide an HST to work their 1V52 06.01 Glasgow Central - Plymouth. On Monday to Thursday the unlucky passengers have to put up with a Voyager. Here we have HST Power Car 43378 storming through Tamworth at very close to line speed (125mph) on the front of 1V52 running five minutes late. RTT shows the train was right time by Washwood Heath. That's some going!

Level crossing
From Wikipedia
The term level crossing (also called a railroad crossing, road through railroad, train crossing or grade crossing) is a crossing on one level ("at-grade intersection") — without recourse to a bridge or tunnel — of a railway line by a road or path. It also applies when a light rail line with separate right-of-way (or a reserved track tramway) crosses a road.
Early level crossings had a flagman in a nearby booth who would, on the approach of a train, wave a red flag or lantern to stop all traffic and clear the tracks. Manual or electrical closable gates that barricaded the roadway were later introduced. The gates were intended to be a complete barrier against intrusion of any road traffic onto the railway. In the early days of the railways much road traffic was horsedrawn or included livestock. It was thus necessary to provide a real barrier. Thus, crossing gates, when closed to road traffic, crossed the entire width of the road. When opened to allow road users to cross the line, the gates were swung across the width of the railway, preventing any pedestrians or animals getting onto the line. The first U.S. patent for such crossing gates was awarded on 27 August 1867, to J. Nason and J. F. Wilson, both of Boston.]
With the appearance of motor vehicles, this barrier became less effective and the need for a barrier to livestock diminished dramatically. Many countries therefore substituted the gated crossings with weaker but more highly visible barriers and relied upon road users following the associated warning signals to stop.
In many countries, level crossings on less important roads and railway lines are often "open" or "uncontrolled", sometimes with warning lights or bells to warn of approaching trains. Ungated crossings represent a safety concern; many accidents have occurred due to failure to notice or obey the warning. Railways in the United States are adding reflectors to the side of each train car to help prevent accidents at level crossings. In some countries, such as Ireland, instead of an open crossing there may be manually operated gates, which the motorist must open and close. These too have significant risks, as they are unsafe to use without possessing a knowledge of the train timetable: motorists may be instructed to telephone the railway signaller, but may not always do so.
The director of rail safety at the UK HM Railway Inspectorate commented in 2004 that "the use of level crossings contributes the greatest potential for catastrophic risk on the railways." Eighteen people were killed in the UK on level crossings in 2003-4. Bridges and tunnels are now favoured, but this can be impractical in flat countryside where there is insufficient space to build a roadway embankment or tunnel (because of nearby buildings).
At railway stations, a pedestrian level crossing is sometimes provided to allow passengers to reach other platforms in the absence of an underpass or bridge.
Where third rail systems have level crossings, there is a gap in the third rail over the level crossing, but the power supply is not interrupted since trains have current collectors on multiple cars.

Ogni gesto lascia un'impronta che evoca una storia. La fotografia lo testimonia e ne conserva la memoria, talvolta mentendo, talvolta dicendo la verità. Chi vede, distingue. Quelle che si scorgono sono le tracce di alcuni attraversamenti. I luoghi sono quasi sempre quelli dell'abbandono e delle rovine: un modo, come altri, di pensare il tempo. Dietro l'apparenza di ciascuna immagine, c'è un soggetto invisibile. E' il protagonista, o meglio, sono i protagonisti di infinite piccole storie. Non solo personali.
