The London to Brighton train line
Balcombe Viaduct by drone.
this viaduct is amazing. It was built in 1839 by bringing all the materials down the River Ouse . It is roughly 96 feet high and 1500 feet long and took over 11 million bricks to build.
had to time the video between the train time table, but still gave enough time to capture this.

Why?
No electricity hence no pumps..,
Had to use gravity…
Which is what the climate nutters want us to go back to…

“ I rebuilt the Capitol and the theater of Pompey, each work at enormous cost, without any inscription of my name. I rebuilt aqueducts in many places that had decayed with age, and I doubled the capacity of the Marcian aqueduct by sending a new spring into its channel.”
Never “out of money!”
Romans also wouldn’t let anyone with an Art Degree reproduce.., hmmmm.
It's not an aqueduct... it was built to avoid a grade in the railroad.
Beautiful, but extravagant.
I love it and I probably live fairly near it. I've been to Brighton loads of times, but it must be a on a different route. I shall have to go on it and video it, then put it out here.
The first picture is what caught my attention, so I did a search and found out what it was. Did people click on it to magnify it? It's an awesome effect!
