The "Urban Viaduct" I think is effectively going to be three parts. From the two track canal bridge, there will be approx 60m of embankment then a small single track bridge next to the Combined Sewer Outflow to allow maintenance vehicle access....

Bluenosejohn a plăcut postul lui 21B în subiectul Mid Hants Railway Operational Matters.
It was not a panic buy. It was bought because the railway required motive power. The loco was in ticket, but near the end of a mainline cert, and the price was attractive. It was always (in my view) an overly expensive locomotive to overhaul,...
