    Fascinating to think this was taken only 18 years after the Tay Bridge Disaster.
    Was surprised to see two trains passing on the bridge itself. I might be wrong but don't think this is allowed today.
    The original engine was indeed recovered and put back in service and known as the Diver, (wouldn't catch me going on it), the guards door is on view in Dundee Museum.

    great old movie. The first Tay bridge fell down in a storm with a passenger train passing over it, in 1879!

    The engine was recovered,the river is quite shallow and sand banks are exposed at low tide. Re.The High Girders by John Prebble.
    Dundee is my home town.

    I take it this is the second bridge. If so , they recovered the engine after the disaster and it was known a Diver after that.

    Dundee had 3 stations then and was the jute capital of the world.
