Well, I was close enough so someone knowledgable could recognise it :-)

At Bellbird Colliery, if my obviously fading memory serves me correctly.  I
photographed 10 class working through the cutting under the overbridge many
years ago.

There was also an old bridge on a colliery line from the Port Waratah area
which took the track underneath the Hamilton-Maitland line. At the Newcastle
end, it appeared on maps into the 60s, although long closed.
