More about this scene
There were only two other bridges on British Railways that were longer than the Severn Bridge: the second Tay (10,711 ft) and the Forth (8296 ft). The Severn carried the railway lines 70 ft above the high water mark, the second Tay 83.5 ft, and the Forth 156 ft. Following the collapse of Sir Thomas Bouch's first Tay Bridge in December 1879, the Severn enjoyed the status of being the country's longest railway bridge until 1887.
