You beat me to it by a couple of minutes!

6 is just north of there, where the disused line linking the Cotswold Line to the Bicester line crosses the Oxford Canal.

Ah ... I think I would have to on balance to give it to paul7575 - on the grounds that I looked at stuving's post and understood it to be challenging my answer rather than answering the next picture, and Paul probably did the same.    It's "only" lighter side, so awards / honourable mention to both gentlemen, me thinks!

I think really the silly mistake was mine - in too much of a hurry - or it was a brilliant way of sabotaging my own efforts!

Likewise, I know 1 (because I've boated under it, on the way to turn round after the public moorings) and 12 (haven't actually boated past it but have walked it!), and if no one has got them by the time I log on tomorrow...
