Lawley Street Viaduct

            EWS Class 37 No. 37401 'Mary Queen of Scots' crosses Lawley Street Viaduct on the approach to Proof House Junction while heading Regional Railways 0634 Holyhead - Birmingham New Street service on 22nd January 2000. The viaduct is a Grade II listed structure, and is notable as being a viaduct built on a viaduct. The lower structure was designed by Joseph Locke for the Grand Junction Railway, which opened in 1838 when their line was extended from the temporary terminus at nearby Vauxhall (now Duddeston) to Curzon Street. The second viaduct was opened in 1893 and uses the Joseph Locke viaduct as its base. Access to the busy Curzon Street Goods Station is cited as one of the reasons for its construction, but easing congestion on the approach to New street station is also likely to have been a factor.
