Bridge over flood plain, Britannia Sidings, East of Yarra Junction. Lilydale to Warburton Railway

 This bridge differs from others I looked at on this line in that the piers are constructed of brick rather than poured concrete. Otherwise, it is an unremarkable bridge consisting of 9 brick piers with steel beams and the usual wooden deck used on rail trails. It is approximately 48 Metres long.

An interesting little historical brief, laminated and attached to a post on the approach to the bridge. It gives a little historical background to Britannia Sidings and the private railway that fed goods to the main line.

Cattle Underpass near Woori Yallock Creek. Lilydale to Warburton Railway.

Built using the same recipe as all the other bridges along this line, this consists of four concrete piers and steel beams. 

It is just short of the larger Woori Yallock Creek bridge.

Bridge over Woori Yallock Creek, Woori Yallock. Lilydale to Warburton line.

 A low bridge of steel beams over concrete piers, across the Woori Yallock Creek and it's large surrounding wetlands. It is very likely that this bridge is original, and simply re-decked to make it suitable for a rail trail. It is approximately 176 Metres long, with a second section of 55 Metres.

Road over Rail Bridge, Private Access road at Woori Yallock, Lilydale to Warburton Railway

 This bridge appears to be pretty original. It has steel I beam spans spans on wooden trestles and does not appear to have been 'gentrified' for the conversion of the ROW to a rail trail. It is protected from stock crossing at either end by cattle grids. On the other hand, it may have been modified from wooden spans to steel spans at an earlier time.

Rail over Road Bridge, Kylie Lane, Seville East. Lilydale to Warburton Railway

Finally out of lockdown and out on the trails again. This time being the first outing for the new bicycle. I had bought a folding mountain bike to ride the trails, but after my cardiac surgery, I found it stressful riding any distance. So I bought a conversion kit and converted the bike into an e-Bike. 

I drove to the car park at the old Woori Yallock station, then rode back towards the west to access this bridge, and others along the Warburton Rail Trail.

This bridge is pretty unremarkable, being steel beams on concrete piers, with 3 openings. Pretty much all of the bridges on the old Lilydale to Warburton line are of similar construction. This bridge allows Kylie Lane to pass under the rail line. I called out to Kylie, but she did not answer, must have been off enjoying the lovely Spring weather :-)

It was too steep to get down to the roadway, so this view is the best I could manage from the ROW.

Fortunately, Deon drove along Kylie Lane and sent me this photo showing the bridge from gound level. Thank you Deon.
