This would begin an anxious 30 minutes for us railfans as we listened to the conversation with the crew about whether the CMQ's could lead and if they could wye somewhere to put the CP 7023 in the lead instead. Ultimately it would carry on as pictured.

At 1275 yards and with 82 arches, this is the longest masonry viaduct in the UK, and was completed in 1878 - though much of the brickwork has been replaced due to poor quality on site manufacture. I wonder if the earthworks in the field to the right are remnants from the building of the viaduct. The train is Tunstead - Elstow with 66602. Corby can be seen on the skyline.
Not the original path of the river, this is the new cut near Tallington. Still a relatively small river at this stage.

I took this photograph on 35mm transparency film in October 1987. I was driving home from Boston and stopped by the Fosdyke Bridge over the River Welland. Maybe I should have waited a minute or two longer for the sun to be more perfectly aligned with the straight waterway.

The River Welland is a lowland river in the east of England, some 65 miles (105 km) long. It drains part of the Midlands eastwards to The Wash.
Welland Viaduct, also known as Harringworth Viaduct and Seaton Viaduct, is a railway viaduct which crosses the valley of the River Welland between Harringworth in Northamptonshire and Seaton in Rutland, England.
It is 1,275 yards (1.166 km) long and has 82 arches, each of which has a 40 feet (12 m) span. The viaduct was built by Lucas and Aird and completed in 1878. It is the longest masonry viaduct across a valley in Britain and a Grade II listed building

I usually don’t shoot power sitting in yards but the golden hour sun was too much to give up. Two Freshly Washed and Maintained SD70ACU’s sitting at the north end of Welland Yard after coming back from American Motive Power in Dansville New York, awaiting lift from 237 back to Toronto.

Welland Viaduct, Harringworth Viaduct or Seaton Viaduct, crosses the valley of the River Welland between Harringworth in Northamptonshire and Seaton in Rutland, England.
The viaduct is 1,275 yards (1.166 km) long and has 82 arches, each with a 40 feet (12 m) span. It is the longest viaduct across a valley in the United Kingdom. Built by the contractor Lucas and Aird, a total of 30 million bricks were used in the viaduct's construction. Completed during 1878, it has since become a Grade II listed building.
The Welland Viaduct is on the Oakham to Kettering Line between Corby and Manton Junction, where it joins the Leicester to Peterborough line. The line is generally used by freight trains and steam specials. In early 2009, a single daily return passenger service was introduced by East Midlands Trains between Melton Mowbray and St Pancras via Corby, the first regular passenger service to operate across the viaduct since the 1960s. There are now two return services between Melton Mowbray and London St Pancras each weekday. The viaduct is on a diversionary route for East Midlands Railway using the Midland Main Line route.
