Ribblehead Viaduct

The Ribblehead Viaduct is a railway bridge over the valley of the River Ribble at the foot of Whernside in the English county of North Yorkshire. The bridge was built in 1870-1874, designed by John Sydney Crossley. It is 32 meters high and 402 meters long and runs in a slight arc, so that you can see them from the moving train. The viaduct is the longest on the route of the Settle - Carlisle Railway. In the 1980s there were plans to shut down the track, but after protests they were dropped and, inter alia, the viaduct made ​​roadworthy. However, since 1985 only performs a single-track line over the bridge.
