More railway history

On the way back from Wallerawang today, I suddenly realised it’s nearly a month since I blipped some historical railway infrastructure, specifically another viaduct designed by John Whitton. Here’s the Farmers Creek viaduct which I haven’t blipped before (there’s more yet!) only 3 kms west of Lithgow station.
It was built in 1870 for a single track but by 1912, it was not coping with the increased rail traffic to Bathurst and beyond, hence the double track viaduct also in the blip which is still in use today.
Sorry about the dodgy detail, it was a very misty, drizzly day.
