Railway Viaduct, Grade II listed railway viaduct in Rugby, United Kingdom.
The railway viaduct extends across the landscape with eleven elliptical arches constructed from Staffordshire blue bricks and sandstone dressings.
Charles Blacker Vignoles designed and constructed this railway viaduct between 1839 and 1840 for the Midland Railway Company's expansion plans.
The structure represents early British railway engineering advancement, connecting major industrial centers during the Victorian railway expansion period.
The viaduct maintains its original function as part of the railway infrastructure, with two sections of the bridge still crossing the West Coast Main Line.
The steel girder construction spanning the main railway line received the name 'birdcage' due to its distinct structural pattern.
