...built for a public railway which is still in-situ and still
performing the service for which it was built?

Clue: it lies within the M25.

Isn't the main line north of Redhill on the line of the Surrey Iron
Railway? But is it the original line or the Quarry line?

The Surrey Iron Railway served the stone quarries (underground) at Quarry
Dean, Merstham; remains of one of the bridges may be seen by the Happy
Eater
cafe at Hooley just N of the M23, above the old main line tunnel (not the
Quarry line). There is some original SIR rail on the corner of the A23 by
the Feathers pub in Merstham.



if you are talking in the country then i Believe causey arch is the oldest
surviving "raiL" bridge in the world
