Abandoned bridges and we heard about an abandoned line from Portugal to Spain going through a mountainside.
The photo of the viaduct that you linked was amazing.No problem. Anything in particular just PM me.
Blimey.Believe me Cowley, height would be the least of your concerns with those bridges. They aren't maintained since 1985. Only inspected, as they're considered a Spanish national monument.
The same can't be said of the few bridges on the Portuguese side. They may as well just fall next year.
I can't see how it's possible to PM on this site? Am I missing something?No problem. Anything in particular just PM me.

Thank you chaps, much appreciated.It's because you're a new member (welcome by the way).
Once you've posted a few times you'll be able to.
Thank you chaps, much appreciated.I believe you have to make 5 posts on the forum to activate the PM feature (i think it is to prevent spam bot accounts probably). So once you have made 1 more post you should be able to PM people.
One that you can reach by public transport (by EE at present!) is the viaduct for the abandoned metre-gauge line at Pocinho. Quite an impressive structure but derelict and, as stated above, might well be quite dodgy to walk across oneself!
I crossed it in 1969 behind a 2-4-6-0 tank loco. It was a a bit scary even then.I wouldn't like to risk walking over the bridge at Pocinho on the rail deck but crossed using the road deck underneath last month on foot.
