Viaduc, Busseau-sur-Creuse, 23150 Fr.

Viaduc, Busseau-sur-Creuse, 23150 Fr.
To get to Parsac-Gouzon the line must first cross the deep, densely wooded valley of the river Creuse, and it does so on this spectacular structure. Opened to traffic in 1863, the steel girder viaduct carries the line from the junction at Saint Sulpice Laurière to Montluçon, and onwards across the Massif Central towards Lyon. Built by the Paris Orleans Railway, the total span is 339m (1,112ft), and the height above the river Creuse is 56.5m (185ft).

Local people often understandably attribute this work to Gustave Eiffel, but it was actually designed by another eminent civil engineer, and contemporary of Eiffel, Wilhelm Nördling. When it was built it had two tracks, but one of these has now been lifted.

Taken with a 1948 Kodak Tourist 620, converted to 120 film. f4.5/105mm coated Kodak Anaston, X2 yellow filter, Rollei RPX400 @800 in Caffenol C + iodized salt, 20-20-6-6 Scanned @1200dpi on Epson V500

Amazing! Your pictures are always featured by sharp geometric structures :-)

Lian, many thanks for your encouragement!

I am interested by buildings and railways, so I suppose some geometry is inevitable in such subjects! And a monochrome image relies on shape and texture to interest the viewer, more than colour!

Best, Mike
