Bridge on the Railway Path at Oxhill

This must be the most unusual bridge on the Consett & Sunderland Railway Path. Consisting of an old railway freight car, it was installed about 20 years ago by engineers from the Territorial Army. Some years later, the upper part of the car was removed, leaving just the flatbed, and handrails added.
