The 355 yards long Duddeston Viaduct was originally built to connect the GWR's B&OJR line to the LNWR's Curzon Street station. As stated elsewhere, the GWR fell victim to the LNWR's politicking which meant that whilst the LNWR stopped the GWR gaining access to their station, the LNWR still demanded the viaduct be built even though they knew it would never be used. The Viaduct was therefore used as a head shunt for trains using the goods shed which was located to the right of the photographer and facing the Paddington to Snow Hill route.
