The Great Central Main Line : Loughborough Viaduct
(sometimes known as Stanford Viaduct)
Situated on the northern end of Loughborough, the viaduct is 176 yards long and carries the line over the River Soar.

seen in the early 60's
The viaduct is in good condition although
many coping stones have been thrown into the river below - they will eventually
need recovering.
If you're on a train on the Midland Main
Line then look to your left as you enter Loughborough (heading south)/right
as you leave Loughborough (heading north). You'll see Stanford Viaduct
striding across the valley.
The same view as the one
above shows how many coping stones are missing
