3rd August 1974
Heading north looking back over the engineering marvel that is the 1890 Forth Railway Bridge over the Firth of Forth. This is a view of the intricate steelwork (in the days when they still used to paint it!) from the dmu rear seat. The sloping desk means this is a Cravens vehicle, with it's shaped hand brake wheel on the left. Pete LG99.
3rd August 1974
Sharing the driver's view crossing the Forth Bridge on 3rd August 1974. On the return journey from Dunfermline to Edinburgh we managed to sit behind the driver in the front compartment and I grabbed this shot in the middle of the 1.6 mile long Forth Bridge. The combination of the major supports and smaller iron & steelwork struts make an interesting pattern over this iconic engineering structure opened in 1890. North Queensferry's Distant signal is off on the right and there is an precarious looking pw hut overhanging the bridge side on the left. Next stop Dalmeny station. Pete LG99.
10th May 1977
Nowadays I think only train drivers get the benefit of the view of the Forth Rail Bridge from a train travelling over it. While the "first generation" diesel units operated it was often possible to get the view from the leading (or trailing) passenger saloon, as long as the driver had not dropped the window blinds. This view was taken on 10 May 1977 from a class 101 DMU. Jeremy Chapter.
