The stream at Skagsoset

You have now arrived at a rather special stream here at Skagsoset, which has steps under the water, you can see the steps when the stream runs dry. The steps were carved by skilled stonemasons. Stray water run off can damage the railway line, therefore the steps are designed to stop the water washing stone and earth away from under the rails, leaving them suspended in mid-air. There are also walls on both sides to ensure that the river does not become wider. The bridge that the railway crosses to go over the stream is made of steel H Beams. On top of the beams are bridge piers that the rails are attached to. Travellers on the Dresin often stop to take pictures here.
