Tay Rail Bridge

The Tay Rail Bridge is a historic railway bridge that stretches across the Firth of Tay in Scotland, connecting the city of Dundee with the region of Fife. Originally opened in 1878, it was designed to carry trains over the water, supporting regional transportation and commerce. The bridge is notable for its engineering design and its tragic history—during a storm in 1879, part of the original bridge collapsed as a train crossed, resulting in significant loss of life. It was later rebuilt and continues to serve as an important rail link, showcasing engineering resilience and progress.
