Title
L2902 - Temporary bridge at Chetwode
Description
L2902 - A fine snapshot of the seldom seen face of railway construction. Looking at this temporary wooden bridge spanning a section of contractor's railway at a roughly hewn cutting near Chetwode, it is hard to imagine a Great Central express locomotive thundering along the main line permanent way on a faultless trackbed of uniform sleepers and fine ballast.
