Kingston Railway Bridge, Railway arch bridge in Kingston upon Thames, England
The Kingston Railway Bridge spans across the River Thames with five steel arches, three extending over water and two covering the surrounding land.
The original cast-iron structure from 1863 was replaced in 1907 with a new design by J W Jacomb Hood to accommodate increasing rail traffic.
The bridge represents a milestone in Victorian engineering, marking the expansion of London's railway network into the southwestern suburbs during industrialization.
The bridge carries passenger trains on the Kingston Loop Line, connecting London Waterloo station to Kingston and Hampton Wick stations.
Two power stations operated near the bridge from 1893 to 1959, using barges to transport coal and ash through a dedicated dock.
