Former M&GN bridge, Counter Drain TF178208
Former M&GN bridge, Counter Drain TF178208 The Midland & Great Northern Railway (M&GN) had a network of lines all over East Anglia. Most of their lines were closed both before and as a result of the Beeching report with many of them passing through virtually empty countryside. A remnant of their infrastructure is seen crossing Counter Drain. This stretch of the M&GN ran between Spalding and Bourne. There was once a station of the same name at this location that closed in 1959 when passenger services were withdrawn along the whole line. Freight lingered on until 1964 when the last train will have traversed the bridge. A study of Google Earth's Street View reveals the bridge still standing with the former station building just across the road. Notice in this photograph 'UAM' the orange Mini parked up just beyond the bridge. Keywords: Former M&GN bridge Counter Drain TF178208
