Summary

[General description] One of the two railway viaducts at Eden Hills, known as the Sleeps Hill viaducts after the pioneer Samuel Sleep who owned the property. At the time they were on the Nairne line, which later became part of the Melbourne line. Built in 1882 by an American company, they were in use until 1919 when route changes made them redundant and they were dismantled in 1920. See B 11704 for a view of construction work. [On back of photograph] 'Large Viaduct - Adelaide to Melbourne Railway' (Another hand) 'Presented by R.J. McDonald'.
