taken this morning at 05:30.

Technically an aqueduct but as the viaduct challenge said a bonus point for a car, BOAT or train is on the viaduct - hopefully this is acceptable.  
One of Thomas Telford’s finest, complete with narrowboat, across the A5 near Brewood

And just down the road from the Canal, a farmer “making hay while the sun shines” complete with several vehicles… Wheaton Aston on the A5

Entry accepted, I’ve also renamed the Viaduct item to `Aquaduct/Viaduct` to make it clear.
