Looking east from Woolwich Arsenal station along a 5.7km stretch of dead straight railway. It runs across what was once Plumstead Marshes, before the line bends south at Belvedere towards Dartford. In this view you can just see the next station at Plumstead, 800m away. See Image for a 1959 view of the same bridge showing several tracks that have since been removed.
