Streaking across The Tay
Streaking across The Tay

Ex-LNER Class A4 No. 60009 'Union of South Africa' crosses the Tay Bridge, probably Scotland's second most iconic structure after the Forth Bridge. The train is Steam Dreams 'The Coronation' 1Z19 1705 Dundee - Edinburgh Waverley, operating on 17th May 2009 which is the second of a three day charter from London Kings Cross. The remains of the piers of the first Tay Bridge remain as an eternal memorial for all who died on the night of 28th December 1879 when the train in which they were travelling fell into the waters of the River Tay due to a major structural failure of the bridge, which had opened little more than a year earlier. 'No. 9' is crossing the second bridge, designed by William H. Barlow and built by William Arrol & Co. which opened in 1887. The bridge is 2.75 miles in length and runs from Dundee to Wormit.
