Four Arch Bridge

I believe this picture is taken from about the same location as the opening graphic on this site. The bridge is probably the second most frequently photographed locations on the line.

The picture above is taken during the Italian colonial era.  It is interesting to note that the coaches are painted a lighter color than they were during my time.  This is more sensible to the desert.  The green color with black roofs may have been chosen by the Ethiopians, but my guess is that it was chosen by the British.

A recent issue of Ingegneria Ferroviaria shows a current aerial view of this bridge:
