The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The topography of Cornwall is such that the route, which is generally east–west, cuts across numerous deep river valleys that generally run north–south.
- At the time of construction of the line, money was in short supply due to the collapse in confidence following the railway mania, and the company sought ways of reducing expenditure.
- On the advice of the Victorian railway engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, they constructed the river crossings in the form of wooden viaducts, 42 in total, consisting of timber deck spans supported by fans of timber bracing built on masonry piers.
