Croxdale Viaduct, an impressive feat of Victorian engineering, carries the East Coast Main Line high above the River Wear and the lush County Durham countryside. Completed in 1872 by the North Eastern Railway, the viaduct’s seventeen graceful brick arches stretch for nearly a quarter of a mile, offering breathtaking views across rolling fields and woodland. It remains a vital link in the modern railway network, seamlessly blending the grandeur of historic infrastructure with the speed and efficiency of today’s trains.
This vibrant photograph captures a sleek LNER Azuma train gliding across Croxdale Viaduct under a sky painted with scattered summer clouds. The striking red-and-white livery of the train contrasts beautifully with the deep russet brickwork of the arches and the green canopy of trees far below. It’s a thrilling moment of modern rail travel set against a timeless backdrop — perfect for railway enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates the beauty of architecture meeting landscape.
