See this video I did of it <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lFsmQaWnRsk\">Vazon Railway Bridge<\/a> \u00a0 As they say on the CRT site:<\/p>\n<p>A railway swing bridge crossing existed here as long ago as 1866. In time, this was superseded by the first sliding bridge at this location, built for the Great Central Railway\u2019s Scunthorpe line in 1925. This bridge was designed by Sir William Arrol &amp; Company of Dalmarnock.<\/p>\n<p>The 1925 bridge was replaced in 2004 by the present, low-lying, sliding bridge. To allow boats to pass, the whole deck of the bridge which carries two tracks, slides sideways on rails and is pulled by steel cables. The bridge construction is an open riveted steel framework and incorporates two walkways, so that pedestrians can cross when the bridge is in open or closed position.<\/p>\n<p>The modern bridge is powered by mains electricity, although interestingly the 1925 bridge was operated with a massive set of batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Watch out for a train!!!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1950\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1950\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1040702.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1950\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/vazon-railway-bridge\/p1040702\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1040702.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4272,2856\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vazon Railway Bridge\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Vazon Railway Bridge, which slides out of the way&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Vazon Railway Bridge, which slides out of the way&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1040702-300x201.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1040702-1024x685.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1950\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1040702-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Vazon Railway Bridge, which slides out of the way\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1040702-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1040702-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/P1040702-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vazon Railway Bridge, which slides out of the way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We finished our run on the Sheffield and South Yorks and Stainforth and Keadby at Keadby.
