Railway over-bridge, Taplow Road
Reckoning in railway terms, this is the second overbridge when heading east from Taplow station. The line it carries is the old GWR main-line out of Paddington. I can't say for certain that this was the structure Brunel built for the broad-gauge, but in style and materials it matches many of the better known examples.

Taplow, with Up Hereford express, 1953
View westward, towards Reading etc. on the ex-GWR main line from Paddington. The 11.00 from Hereford is headed by 'Castle' class 4-6-0 No. 5086 'Viscount Horne' (built as a 'Star' class No. 4066 'Malvern Abbey' in 12/22, renamed 5/35 as 'Sir Robert Horne', 'Viscount Horne 8/37, then rebuilt as a 'Castle' 12/37, withdrawn 8/63). (Viscount Horne had been Chairman of the GWR Board (and of various others), a Unionist MP and a leading Minister in Lloyd George's wartime Coalition and later, and a 'womanising bachelor').
