tomstaf Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hi, Bit of a strange one but I fancy modelling something a tad different: a sewage pipe crossing the line. I've seen it in a few locations but can't remember where. What I do remember is there is normally palisade spikes or similar around each side. Anyone know any locations so I can remind myself how they look and get an idea of the pipe size please? Cheers Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Reorte Posted July 2, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 2, 2014 There's one that goes under the WCML just to the south of Carstairs (I assume it's that, looking on Google aerial it ends up next to a sewerage works) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERGE Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 There is a pipe bridge over the GC near Swithland Sidings. It should be fairly easy to find pics of that.

black and decker boy Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 There is one over the Calder Valley line just south of Moston Station near Manchester. Lots of big iron spikes that do not stop the local feral youths sitting on the pipe launching rocks at the trains in summer. Its a lovely area, really it is...

RMweb Premium Richard E Posted July 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 3, 2014 There is one just south of Grantham on the ECML and I'm pretty sure there are some in the Huntingdon area as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 There is one crosses the Glasgow North Electric line immediately to the west of the roadbridge locally known as the red bridge between Coatbridge Sunnyside and Coatdyke. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted July 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 3, 2014 I believe there is a pipe crossing the Croydon - London Bridge line between Honor Oak Park and Brockley - can be clearly seen on Google Maps beside the bridge lunknig Eddystone Road and Brockley Way...

LNERGE Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Pipes sometimes share railway bridges too. A recent after work walk whilst in Whitby revealed a fairly substantial pipeline (gas i think) across Larpool viaduct. Several other structures have piplines tacked on the outside. Ouse bridge south of Huntingdon is one complete with omega loops for expansion.. edit to add.. I wondered if the pipeline was in place when the line was open. I suspected it was. The last photo in this group of 11 confirms it.. http://www.forgottenrelics.co.uk/bridges/gallery/larpool.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknich2003 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Dansom Lane, Hull, Reckit and Coleman's steam line, seen here early 1967. It remained in situ for many years after the railway was lifted in 1968, and may still be in use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium CloggyDog Posted July 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm sure there's one on the GWML between Padd and Ealing Bwy - will try and keep an eye open for it on my way home this evening/in ward tomorrow morning (crowding permitting!)

Edwin_m Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If you need to look at one closely, but don't mind a long journey, there are several of various types on the disused railway (now a community footpath) that runs through Little Hulton west of Manchester.

alibuchan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Any pipes that come out of the ground would need to be pumped. Making water and gas pipes most common. There are very few pumped drainage pipes, as most will only be pumped a short distance up hill to the nearest gravity sewer. The majority of drains crossing the railway are underground.

RMweb Premium CloggyDog Posted July 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2014 Spotted it this morning on the inbound: http://goo.gl/maps/YOJ26 The London side of the B450 bridge over the GWML at Ladbroke grove has a large diameter pipe, with spikey bits, all painted red, on the 'London' side of the bridge. I'm sure there's one on the GWML between Padd and Ealing Bwy - will try and keep an eye open for it on my way home this evening/in ward tomorrow morning (crowding permitting!)

John_Miles Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Any pipes that come out of the ground would need to be pumped. Making water and gas pipes most common. Not strictly true. Depends on the pressure in the pipe. As well as pipes crossing over lines, there are things called inverted siphons which go under railways, roads etc, again using the pressure in the pipe.

Does Birmingham's water fall all the way from the Elan Valley by gravity? I'm sure there are a couple of hills crossed by the conduit that the water is forced over by it's own head.

RMweb Gold unravelled Posted July 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5, 2014 If you want a serious structure , how about this? It's the Northern Outfall sewer, aka the Greenway in north London, and consists of 3 approximately 3m pipes. While this span is over water , similar ones cross DLR, underground and mainline close to West Ham View towards Plaistow station. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
