RedRich Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Yep that's the Red Iron Bridge in Waterford. It is a twin of the Barrow Bridge. The rotating span was sold and I believe it is in Africa. The other span is sitting just beyond Waterford West signal cabin. The line diverged left for the bridge just beyond the first level crossing past Waterford West signal cabin. The Waterford Suir Valley Railway runs on part of the old line to Kilmeaden. Rich,
