Built in 1841 using 11 million bricks, the Ouse Valley Viaduct over the River Ouse on the London-Brighton Railway Line is 1,475 feet (450 m) long, 96 feet (29 m) high and is carried on 37 semi-circular arches with pierced piers. This photograph shows the view through the pierced piers along the length of the viaduct.

While there's nothing in the picture that is immediately recognisable as rail-related, it's an interesting image.

It wouldn't be the first image like this that has appeared as the selected picture. It reminds me of the photo of the Luchtspoor viaduct construction that was shown as a selected picture last year. I'd support showing this next week. Slambo (Speak) 15:52, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
