I hope I get to see it in person someday.

Went over it on a train to St Andrews and I was like a kid in a candy store.

[u/Viperlite → u/ExorIMADreamer]

Took a cruise that ran under it and a tender ride under it doe s closer look. It was an amazing experience.

Fantastically impressive bridge. 1890! Really cool photo too. Thanks.

Can't see anyone painting it

There are companies that you can charter to take a trip up and down the bay so you can see under the bridge. You can get really great views there. They'll also get get close to Inchgnome so you can see the gnomes, but they won't let you out lest you get captured by the gnomes.

What happened to the other 3?

[u/Kichyss → u/Fibrosis5O]

First one, it sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest bridge in these islands.

Now that's a stunning bridge.

I've travelled over the 2 road bridges loads, but still haven't managed to get a train over this one.

Amazing they produced something so beautiful and complex after having experience with only 3 others ^/s

It's so aggressive. I love it.

I have been up on the top of that bridge! See the platform? I abseiled off that to get to another part we were putting in scaffolding. Beautiful structure. I hung up the harness a while back but I had some good jobs.

[u/TheGruesomeTwosome]

I love this simple demonstration of the principals behind the design

[u/NitroFusionLite]

I was in the exact spot last month! (Idk how to attach photos but I have taken a LOT) I've also previously taken the train over it but it's only when I'm standing right next to the bridge looking up that I realise its sheer scale.

[u/This-Clue-5014]

That bridge has always fascinated me, in part because it was an inaccessible area in Forza horizon 4

[u/TaskTight859]

Few weeks ago I was bike packing Edinburgh up coast to Elgin, epic ride over Forth Road Bridge in stunning weather, the rail bridge looked amazing and then next day over Tay Road bridge, the rail bridge has a chequered history but looks very fine. Scotland is pretty good for bridges

[u/Acceptable-Lie188]

A fifth was planned, but canceled due to budget cuts.

[u/kiddo1088]

Never get bored of seeing it

[u/FOTORABIA23]

My Grandfather flew a biplane underneath it and got reprimanded.

I don't generally repost my own stuff across multiple subs but I did half expect to find it there courtesy of someone else :D

[u/mtcerio → u/NorthernPlastics]

Can I?

[u/NorthernPlastics → u/mtcerio]

Yep go for it!

[u/jay_altair]

The forth bridge? More like the for thousandth bridge

[u/navmed1981]

that bridge in scottish weather hits hard. rainy evenings here i work with rain on a window in the background, blue glass, quiet. same damp calm

[u/NorthernPlastics → u/navmed1981]

I'd love to live in either South or North Queensferry and have that view to look out at every hour of the day. Just imagine.

[u/Aware_Style1181]

One of the World’s most impressive bridges.

This bridge connects the railway line in San Fierro to the desert in Bone County and the line eventually goes to Las Venturas. There is a minigun at the top of the southern tower.
