Title
L2217 - Rugby viaduct and signal gantry
Description
L2217 - This girder structure is the south end of Rugby viaduct, built to carry the Last Main Line over the London & North Western Railway. Because of the obstruction caused by the viaduct, the LNWR demanded the Great Central pay for the erection of the enormous signal gantry seen here on the right. This section of the London Extension (Contract No.3, Aylestone to Rugby) was built by Topham, Jones & Railton between 1894-1899.
