    I mean… A train?

    I get you though; built with what’s readily available to meet the needs of the time.

      It’s not jist about what’s readily available either. A giant brick viaduct would require thousands if workers, housing, food, and sanitation for them. On top of that, the army would have to dedicate a full company ti protecting the workers due to the risk of attack from natives. The logistics just make it impossible for such a remote area back then.
