Twin Railway Bridges, Warmsworth, South Yorkshire. Both bridges span the River Don. The nearest (disused) carried the line from Aire Junction to Braithwaite Junction, the other is the Doncaster avoiding line for freight and is still open. The Transpennine Trail and NCN 62 both follow the river and the disused railway at this point.

Long Gone Railway This old railway bridge is so far from the past that this section barely shows on a modern map. I would guess it to be a branch line to a now closed colliery. Simon N Page tells us this is the Hull and Barnsley Railway.
