Tour Scotland Video Passenger Train Railway Bridge River Tay Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of a Passenger Train crossing the railway bridge over the River Tay in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. I like the fact that train divers always wave to me when they see me on the bridge. That is nice. The previous bridge was built on a curve of 15 chain radius and was of predominantly timber construction. Problems with the foundations of the structure necessitated its replacement, the new bridge was designed by the engineers of the Caledonian Railway and was opened in 1863. It remains in regular use by passenger traffic.
