Title
L2334 - Brick arch bridge and contractor's line near Nethercote
Description
L2334 - Contractor's temporary rails snake their way beneath a three arch brick overbridge spanning a dressed cutting near Nethercote, Warwickshire. Despite being hastily laid and badly maintained, these rough tracks were the backbone of the Line's construction, allowing men, materials and machinery to be ferried back and forth along the route. T. Oliver & Son was the firm contracted to build this section of the Railway (Contract No.4, Rugby to Woodford).
