The Forth Rail Bridge

The overly substantial Forth Rail Bridge spanning the Firth of Forth between South Queensferry and North Queensferry . Its construction began in 1882 and took 8 years to complete. The bridge was constructed by Sir William Arrol to a design by civil engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. In the aftermath of the Tay Bridge disaster the bridge was a testament to robust and conservative over-engineering.
