Iron Trestles
Trestles in cast- or wrought-iron were used during the 19th Century on the developing railway network in the United Kingdom. These generally carried decking consisting of some form of trussed girder, as at Crumlin Viaduct, Belah and Meldon; though two rare examples, at Dowery Dell (demolished in 1962), and Bennerley had lattice girder decks.

Famous quotes containing the word iron:
“And thus we rust Lifes iron chain
Degraded and alone:
And some men curse, and some men weep,
And some men make no moan:
But Gods eternal Laws are kind
And break the heart of stone:”
