Viaduct on the Madras Railway across the River Poiney, in Arcot, 1857. 'The handsome structure...has been built by the Madras Railway Company for carrying their line over the River Poiney, in the classic land of Arcot, Southern India. The bridge is constructed of granite of a superior description, and consists of fifty-six arches...The chief engineer of the line at the time of construction of this bridge was Mr. George Barclay Bruce [who]...brought into existence a railway...which, in the face of great difficulties, was commenced and planned so as to carry out a line from coast to coast, 450 miles in length'.
