Welcome to the Picture 21

The Niagara crosses the Haven bridge, the first of 5 water crossings on the line. The river Eye flows 7 feet below the decking at this point but will flow over the track in times of heavy floods. The bridge is built of substantial steel girders with standard gauge railway sleepers on top for decking and gives a scenic view of the river to passengers. Once over the bridge, the line curves sharply following the river bank for 1/4 mile straight before diving over the river again and into the heavily wooded chestnuts and badgers bend section of the line.
