Monkton Combe was shared with the Camerton branch of the Great Western Railway, and a little further up it was joined by the Somerset and Dorset Railway too which came through the hill from Bath in a single track tunnel. The two railway lines crossed just close to the village of Midford, where they each crossed the valley on viaducts and one viaduct passed diagonally under the other. It must have been a spectactular site in its heyday.
