Title
Forth Bridge - Queensferry cantilever from end of approach viaduct
Description
Photograph of the Queensferry cantilever from end of approach viaduct. Here we have a view taken from a point somewhat to the right of centre line and a considerable height above sea level, as a result of which the perspective of the picture is exceptionally good. Considerable progress is evident, the upper ends of columns being already above rail level, and owing to the angle of the former the box girders are beginning to project beyond them. At the intersection of disagonal bracing, the first of the uprights carrying the internal viaduct is conspicuous. The solid appearance of the end of the lattice girder platforms is due to the fact that, with a view to utilise inside for rooms, offices, &c, they were boarded in. This picture forms one of a pair, and was the first of the series taken from a point about the centre line. Transcription from: Philip Phillips, 'The Forth Railway Bridge', Edinburgh, 1890.
