The Deer Valley Viaduct (Slovene : Jelenov most, Dolinski most, German : Hirschthaler viadukt) is a railroad viaduct between Borovnica and Laze pri Borovnici, Slovenia. [1] It is an 11-arch structure approximately 29 meters (95 feet) high and 230 meters (750 feet) long. [2]
The viaduct was built at the same time as the smaller Dol Viaduct to its north and the much larger Borovnica Viaduct to its southeast, and the line was opened in 1856. It is a stone and brick structure with oak piles driven into the ground below the supporting columns. The structure has been registered as cultural heritage [1] due to its age and as an example of construction carried out under the Austrian Monarchy. Before 1944, the tracks were laid out to take trains from Verd to the Borovnica train station and then the Borovnica Viaduct; after 1947 the tracks were rerouted to follow the edge of the Borovnica Valley because of the destruction of the Borovnica Viaduct. At the same time, the Borovnica train station was relocated to the east side of the valley and the viaducts at Pako and Breg pri Borovnici were taken out of service.

The Cornwall Railway company constructed a railway line between Plymouth and Truro in the United Kingdom, opening in 1859, and extended it to Falmouth in 1863. The topography of Cornwall is such that the route, which is generally east–west, cuts across numerous deep river valleys that generally run north–south. At the time of construction of the line, money was in short supply due to the collapse in confidence following the railway mania, and the company sought ways of reducing expenditure.
The Thomas Viaduct spans the Patapsco River and Patapsco Valley between Relay, Maryland and Elkridge, Maryland, USA.

Some claim it to be the world's oldest multiple arched stone railroad bridge. However, the Sankey Viaduct on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was opened in 1830, and finally completed in 1833.
