Causey Arch
Built in 1725/1726, the Causey Arch on the Tanfield Railway in County Durham is the world's oldest surviving single-arch railway bridge. It once handled 900 horse drawn coal wagons per day plying the route between the local collieries and the River Tyne. A reproduction of one of the early wooden coal wagons stands alongside see image 40025.
