Quart Pot Creek Rail Bridge, Railway bridge in Stanthorpe, Australia
Quart Pot Creek Rail Bridge is a railway crossing in Stanthorpe that spans the creek bed with seven metal lattice girders. The structure rests on six concrete piers and two abutments that together support the weight of trains passing overhead.
The bridge was built in 1887 to complete the Brisbane-Sydney railway line and improve access to the tin mines near Stanthorpe. Over time, reinforcements were added to support heavier locomotives.
The structure, listed on the Queensland Heritage Register since 1992, represents the evolution of railway engineering and transportation networks in Australia.
Access to the bridge is limited since it remains part of an active railway line, so visitors should stay in safe areas and keep a reasonable distance. The best view of the structure comes from the creek side or from observation points along the railway corridor.
The structure is painted in a distinctive red color and features an uncommon double lattice girder design that was rarely used for bridges of this era. This design choice makes it stand out among other railway crossings in the region.
