This 38-span timber trestle viaduct crosses Diamond Creek (behind the camera) just south of Eltham station on the Hurstbridge line from Melbourne, and is the last surviving such structure on the Melbourne suburban network. It is a listed structure and as such has defied attempts at modernisation. A Comeng train with motor coach 622M leading crosses in January 1999.
