Angellala Rail Bridge, Railway bridge in Sommariva, Australia.

The Angellala Rail Bridge spans 634 meters across Angellala Creek, featuring seven steel spans and extensive timber trestle approaches in Western Queensland.

The railway bridge, designed by Henry Charles Stanley, began construction in 1885 as part of the western railway extension from Roma to Charleville.

The structure represents Queensland's railway heritage through its engineering design, reflecting late 19th-century construction methods and regional transportation development.

The bridge underwent reinforcement modifications in 1946 and 1994 to support heavier trains and accommodate larger diesel-electric locomotives between Roma and Charleville.

This railway bridge contains the longest timber trestle approach in Queensland, stretching over 530 meters with riveted gusseted half-through continuous plate girder spans.
