When I saw my first photograph of the Forth Bridge, I was in love. And through the years I've looked at countless images, but this video is special. Views I've never seen before, both of and from this bridge, and my awe and wonder at it continues to grow. Thanks for sharing this film. It was wonderful!

With all the metal on view this structure reminds you immediately of the Eiffel tower - the design is however different. It's an engineering marvel and one can only wonder how it was built in a different era . Paid for with the lives of all the men who toiled in the most hazardous conditions- shockingly some of them we learn were children . Quite simply breathtaking .

As an 18 year old student I was fortunate to WALK over the sidewalk of this bridge. It was on a field trip in organized school exchange. Don’t think it would be possible nowadays… that was in 1980…. Still remember it as yesterday. Specially the train passing while walking the bridge….

What an amazing story! I am glad I found it. I had no knowledge of the amazing Forth bridge. I was wondering how much effort it would take to periodically repaint the bridge. 25 year paint is a good thing! Take care 🙂

I've read that Firth of Forth bridge was built much stronger, due in part, as a response to the Tay bridge collapse.

I first fell in love with the beauty of the Forth bridge when I was a kid watching a black and white Alfred Hitchcock movie. Im 56. I've forgotten the title. It's a great reason to pull the old movie collection out and watch them again.

If you want to see the black and white Alfred Hitchcock movie with the Forth bridge from the 1930s, it's called the 39 steps. Enjoy

You see the Boat-ship- building Technology of the time..Rivets..and It is a nautical approach, the enclosed structure is shielded from Corrosion by the rivetted Skin..quite ingenious..makes Maintenance easier these round shapes and aerodynamically, it is good too.

Only about 18 minutes on the Forth Bridge.... then Euston station stuff...

21:21 - Similar to London, in New York City, the demolition of Pennsylvania Station in the mid-1960s promoted the city's architecture landmarks preservation.

The largest railway network in the world is India. It is worlds largest employer. The tallest bridge is the chenab in kashmir.😅

What happened to the first three since they made a forth?

[MarkusKorporaal]

I built a spaghetti model of the Forth bridge for a school project.

It’s a shame to cut three different locos together ostensibly trying to make out it’s the same train. What errors are there about things I don’t know about? Doesn’t inspire confidence.
