I was more concerned about its structural integrity

Came across this while looking for old railway signs.

Yes its a bridge, an old favourite subject of POTD, Settle Station North Yorkshire.

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
One of the other pictures on David's Flickr album may appeal.
Western Champion bit off home ground on the Settle to Carlisle line.
Those Western locos always remind me of Holidays in Devon especially around Teignmouth and Dawlish where the line hugs the Coast.

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
I always enjoy a classic train picture Neil, especially a nice Western diesel-hydraulic... Gorgeous looking locos...
As a kid I used to watch them go past at the bottom of my maternal grandparent's garden...

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Does annoy me on that stretch of line past Dawlish when people in window seats on that side don't look out.
However I'm vastly amused at the reaction to waves, or even just spray, hitting the train.
(just hope the new GWR trains were designed with the operating conditions in mind - because the X-Country trains weren't, so they don't run when it's rough)

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
I would love to ride that stretch of line alongside Dawlish, especially in something heritage, steam or diesel

Spotted on Facebook...
Given my deep love of clocks and cycling this would be perfect; especially if it was a pendulum clock...

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Well this pendulum clock maybe not to everyone's taste...

...but you could accessorise it with a nice a coffee table

Re: Picture(s) of the day..
Well, of course, I do it all the time but still, if the connections work out I'll stay on the slow train to Exeter, so I can revel in it.
Yes, you can do it steam or diesel hauled from time to time, something to think about when you've already got as far as Somerset?
Meanwhile, try and find some of those prints of some amazing paintings of steam trains on that stretch in conditions that health & safety considerations would close now.
