Rogers Devon Ramblings                                 Roger Winnen

9/7/2013

 
On Sunday 7th July 2013  Roger took to the rails (As he does nearly every day), and, making good use of the superb weather did a bit of Devon exploration visiting the Kingswear branch.

This very fine bridge is under sentence, last week saw the demise of Dawlish Signalbox and Christmas will not be a happy one for this double span bridge which crosses the main line and the lines to Paignton close to the site of Aller Junction. Access to the bridge long a site for photographers has been blocked pending its removal. The new Kingskerswell by pass road passes by the right hand side of the structure - if anyone has a full width picture of this bridge it would be appreciated. 7th July 2013 Copyright Roger Winnen As the supermarkets say - when its gone its gone!!
