Forth Rail Bridge

The Forth Bridge

Laying New Track

Special track is used on the Forth Rail Bridge. I believe this may be to control the vibrations, as the bridge still carries some heavy coal trains.

Here the team worked hard for a couple of weeks to re-lay the track during the day - and presumably the night as well, looking at the floodlights that have been set up along the track.

The Cantilever

The top of the cantilever was a level platform. There was a railing around the edge, but it was only a couple of feet high. I could not stay long as the weather took a turn for the worse, and it began to rain.
