 50026 Indomitable crosses Weston Mill Viaduct to the north of Keyham station with the 14.48 Penzance to Paddington relief train on the 4th April 1983.  A tarmacked footpath with railings leading to the bridge. It then continued over the bridge albeit with wooden boards of varying structural integrity as the surface. The viaduct gained the name from locals of 'Shakey bridge' due to the disconcerting shaking on the bridge and the adjoining footpath. The bridge was closed in the 1990's for security when the land beneath became part of the Naval Base. It was then removed when the bridge was refurbished and repainted between 2008 and 2010.  The Bull Point branch can be see in the distance running behind the trees. Some excellent recent pictures of Weston Mill can be seen in the Cornwall Galleries section St Germans to Plymouth.

Many thanks indeed Clive.
