This is train No 9 between Badulla and Colombo.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif";">Photo credit: Nick Lasure, Boulder, Colorado. </span></span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10096368439116602647' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10096368439116602647' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Ravindra's Collections</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/2015/09/nine-arch-viaduct-gotuwala-sri-lanka.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/2015/09/nine-arch-viaduct-gotuwala-sri-lanka.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-09-19T02:46:00-07:00'>02:46</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/2015/09/nine-arch-viaduct-gotuwala-sri-lanka.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-7847929'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4242934270234375563&postID=9122328007178954682&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/search/label/%3D%20Rail%20Bridges' rel='tag'>= Rail Bridges</a>, <a href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/search/label/Sri%20Lanka' rel='tag'>Sri Lanka</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Friday, 4 September 2015</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4oTnQYYVLLIZdE_qLeZnDovtte3Q9EKG1Oc-II9lVVNnS4BTFzk7kpzTYEamj-nG4R2eD3x6dqB5v6nM8udw4mB-tLx3EiDT_h1lniA6g9rSZOHbDT98-Vb1wr7wnSdkJBGkj0Wyvcc4/s400/Nijmegen+Rail+Bridge.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='4242934270234375563' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='3142534629172310260' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='3142534629172310260'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/2015/09/nijmegen-railway-bridge-netherlands.html'>Nijmegen Railway Bridge, Netherlands.</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-3142534629172310260' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4oTnQYYVLLIZdE_qLeZnDovtte3Q9EKG1Oc-II9lVVNnS4BTFzk7kpzTYEamj-nG4R2eD3x6dqB5v6nM8udw4mB-tLx3EiDT_h1lniA6g9rSZOHbDT98-Vb1wr7wnSdkJBGkj0Wyvcc4/s1600/Nijmegen+Rail+Bridge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4oTnQYYVLLIZdE_qLeZnDovtte3Q9EKG1Oc-II9lVVNnS4BTFzk7kpzTYEamj-nG4R2eD3x6dqB5v6nM8udw4mB-tLx3EiDT_h1lniA6g9rSZOHbDT98-Vb1wr7wnSdkJBGkj0Wyvcc4/s400/Nijmegen+Rail+Bridge.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIPJm4zQ0wSFqxszU4cDm90eS7yirAHvB1moaWCMK7o0sE9abtw-lFvFmrmAUeNDqLEOvfIFArAo4O8Sz_-4IPHuluC37Ztc_MXiiUVUtfNx3sWAtUfNSBQmjq7rFNp2jxVjwBdXsPLc4/s1600/Stamps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIPJm4zQ0wSFqxszU4cDm90eS7yirAHvB1moaWCMK7o0sE9abtw-lFvFmrmAUeNDqLEOvfIFArAo4O8Sz_-4IPHuluC37Ztc_MXiiUVUtfNx3sWAtUfNSBQmjq7rFNp2jxVjwBdXsPLc4/s200/Stamps.jpg" width="200" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Nijmegen railway bridge</span> is a truss bridge spanning the River Waal connecting the city of  Nijmegen to the town of  Lent in Netherlands. Construction started in 1875, on the site of an ancient Roman bridge, and was completed 4 years later in 1879. It originally consisted of 3 truss arches. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The railway bridge's construction meant that train connections to  Arnhem were possible, thus Nijmegen was the last major city in the Netherlands to be connected to the national rail network. The middle arch of the bridge was destroyed twice during the Second World War but despite this it survived the conflict. The abutment was also damaged by the Germans who mounted  anti-aircraft guns on each of the towers. The bridge was involved in  Operation Market Garden and was intended to be a key objective for the Allies to hold. The bridge was reconstructed in 1984, still in the truss style but only one arch was kept in the design. Only the brick abutment remains from the original structure. it was instead declared a national monument. In 2004. The bridge carries 2 railway lines and is 675 metres in length.</span></span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10096368439116602647' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10096368439116602647' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Ravindra's Collections</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/2015/09/nijmegen-railway-bridge-netherlands.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/2015/09/nijmegen-railway-bridge-netherlands.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2015-09-04T09:00:00-07:00'>09:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/2015/09/nijmegen-railway-bridge-netherlands.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-7847929'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=4242934270234375563&postID=3142534629172310260&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/search/label/%3D%20Rail%20Bridges' rel='tag'>= Rail Bridges</a>, <a href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/search/label/Netherlands' rel='tag'>Netherlands</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> <span id='blog-pager-newer-link'> <a class='blog-pager-newer-link' href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2016-01-22T06:54:00-08:00&max-results=10&reverse-paginate=true' id='Blog1_blog-pager-newer-link' title='Newer Posts'>Newer Posts</a> </span> <span id='blog-pager-older-link'> <a class='blog-pager-older-link' href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2015-09-04T09:00:00-07:00&max-results=10' id='Blog1_blog-pager-older-link' title='Older Posts'>Older Posts</a> </span> <a class='home-link' href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/'>Home</a> </div> <div class='clear'></div> <div class='blog-feeds'> <div class='feed-links'> Subscribe to: <a class='feed-link' href='http://worldontrains.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default' target='_blank' type='application/atom+xml'>Posts (Atom)</a> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class='column-left-outer'> <div class='column-left-inner'> <aside> </aside> </div> </div> <div class='column-right-outer'> <div class='column-right-inner'> <aside> <div class='sidebar section' id='sidebar-right-1'><div class='widget Profile' data-version='1' id='Profile1'> <h2>About Me</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10096368439116602647'><img alt='My photo' class='profile-img' height='60' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTcZ-znAnCFhwfg2VaalPf4jyhk30lBv2J3PY_usQlPN7V4J_9cj0-M-88C5eJwEeZinyx7rB5cxVyaB06-hos7pacA_ofC2ycLIjzMYZq6kvY89hydUQCad4myMyaXQ/s220/23052008014.jpg' width='80'/></a> <dl class='profile-datablock'> <dt class='profile-data'> <a class='profile-name-link g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/10096368439116602647' rel='author' style='background-image: url(//www.blogger.com/img/logo-16.png);'> Ravindra's Collections </a> </dt> <dd class='profile-textblock'>I am from Sri Lanka.
