21. Express train crossing Welwyn Viaduct, Hertfordshire

            If you travel north from Welwyn Garden City in a train, you cross a substantial viaduct. This is a railway viaduct with 40 arches that carries the East Coast Main Line over the River Mimram and is a grade 11 listed structure. It was officially opened by Queen Victoria on 6 August 1850, but she was reportedly so frightened of its height that she refused to travel across it. The train carrying her had to stop, upon which she left the train and entered a horse-drawn carriage to travel the length of the bridge on the ground. She then re-entered the train at the other end of the viaduct and continued her journey. 
Soon after you reach the end of the viaduct, you go through Welwyn North station and continue through tunnels which are also grade 11 listed. (see Wikipedia)
