1912, that bridge is just a baby. 
Take a look at this one with the date of 1869. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fototime.com/%7B05F77587-5718-471A-8382-3491B8C6780C%7D/origpict/Ouseburn%20Viaduct%20A.jpg">http://www.fototime.com/%7B05F77587-571 ... ct%20A.jpg</a><!-- m -->

The bridge/viaduct is on the East Coast Mainline in Newcastle. It's in full time use and carries express trains from London to Edinburgh and other freight and passenger traffic.
Stephenson's High Level Bridge, also in Newcastle,was opened in 1849 but I can't find a photo with the date on it.
