What is recorded here
Bridge in Ballynastuckaun, near Doonbeg, holds up its iron deck with enormous, bulging stone blocks. It’s a small railway crossing built like the train threatened to bring its brothers.
Railway bridge, carrying Athenry-Tuam railway line over road, built c.1885, and comprising iron girder deck supported on abutments of rusticated limestone blocks having sloping walls flanking each abutment, with rusticated caps to each side of abutments and rounded copings to flanking walls.
This small railway bridge maintains the high-quality tradition of railway engineering, through its well crafted large stone blocks and heavy rustication.
