The Tay Rail Bridge is a significant railway bridge located in Scotland, spanning the Firth of Tay. Completed in 1887, it connects the cities of Dundee and Newport-on-Tay. The bridge is notable for its impressive length of approximately 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) and its distinctive design, featuring a series of iron lattice girders. The bridge is an essential part of the Scottish railway network, facilitating the movement of passengers and goods. It replaced an earlier wooden bridge that tragically collapsed during a storm in 1879, leading to the loss of lives. Today, the Tay Rail Bridge stands as a testament to engineering resilience and innovation.
