The viaduct was built as part of the now disused Bradford to Keighley railway, opened to passenger trains in 1883. These days it's part of the Great Northern Railway Trail, a footpath/bridleway/bicycle trail in West Yorkshire, UK.
The photo was taken across Hewenden reservoir dam to get the reflection in the water.
The Viaduct is 37m high and spans 527m, with 17 arches each of 15m. The foundations of the viaduct were sunk more than 18m into the ground below.
Grade II listed.

The steam train had just pulled into Pickering station after it`s journey from Whitby, it then uncoupled from the other end and came back around here to couple up to pull back out, the driver engineer got down from his cab and walked to the back of the engine, I then had my shot, I have desaturated slightly for effect.
I did shoot a video on the R5 of the train arriving which would have been the first video I have done on it, it`s not brilliant but I may post it at some point.
Completed in 2011, this working, 18-stall, brick roundhouse surrounds a 115-foot turntable. It was the first full-sized working roundhouse built in the U.S. since 1951. The roundhouse museum is currently home to 23 steam locomotives. It is a living, breathing roundhouse where restoration specialists work to preserve the locomotives, railroad cars, tools and machinery of the glory days of railroading.

She was retired in 1973 but did not come to the AOS Roundhouse until 2011. She is shown here backing onto the roundhouse table.
I know what a whistle and a bell are and why they're on a steam engine. But I'm not sure of all the other fittings that contrast nicely with the coal and black paint. From the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum, Sugarcreek, Ohio.
Alabama, Tennessee & Northern purchased three Baldwin engines 1928. Nos. 401 - 403 ran a fast-freight line designated the Lindbergh in honor of the aviation milestone. Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum, Sugarcreek, Ohio.
In the early days of steam, water stops were necessary every seven to 10 miles. Newer tenders holding both water and fuel extended that to 100 - 150 miles. Water stops might have been the sole reason for the existence of some towns. The boilerman would jerk the chain of the spigot to start water flow. Thus the name "jerkwater" town. Many of them became ghost towns after the death of steam.
