A service crosses the viaduct south of Chester-le-Street, spanning Southburn Dene just north of the railway bridge shown in Link . That looks like a Sulzer type 4 locomotive. The 8-arched viaduct dates from 1868 LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) ; the stone plinths can be seen below. The dene is more wooded these days. The South Burn joins the Wear less than a kilometre away, to the left.
