Ruddington: Fifty Steps Bridge
The bridge carries a footpath over what was once the Great Central Railway main line from Marylebone to Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester, the first British main line to close. This section of the line is now part of the Great Central Railway (Nottingham), a heritage railway based at the former Ruddington Ordnance and Supply Depot.

Looking south along the Great Central Railway
From a footbridge to the west of Ruddington http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1723879 . The branch off to the left now leads to the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre http://www.nthc.co.uk/. In the days when the railway ran through here to London Marylebone Station this was the connection into the Ruddington MoD Ordnance and Supplies Depot set up in WW2.

View from the footbridge
These are the tracks of the Great Central Railway (Nottingham), attached to the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre. Access to the main line from the Heritage Centre still involves the reversal of trains at this junction. It was formerly the access to the Ruddington Ordnance Depot.
