Bargo railway viaduct

The Bargo Railway Viaduct extends 76 meters across the Bargo River with five brick spans measuring 15.2 meters each and carries dual railway tracks.

Built in 1919 by New South Wales Government Railways, the viaduct emerged during a period when brick construction dominated due to steel import limitations.

The viaduct represents a milestone in Australian railway engineering, demonstrating the shift from single to double track systems in New South Wales.

Located 96 kilometers from Central Station, this heritage-listed structure continues to serve the Main Southern railway line with standard gauge tracks of 1,435mm.

The viaduct maintains its original brick architecture from 1919, distinguishing it from later steel structures that became standard in Australian railway construction.
