The Royal Albert Bridge, Saltash, Cornwall. After 1859

The Royal Albert Bridge and Saltash taken from the St Budeaux side of the river. Queen Victorias consort Prince Albert opened the single broad gauge track bridge over the River Tamar, thus linking Cornwall with the Great Western system, on the 2nd May 1859. Two 450ft arched tubular spans met in mid river on four cast iron columns secured to a central underwater pier. Spans were high enough to give the Royal Navys tall ships clear heading. A train leaving Cornwall crosses the bridge. Below the locomotive on the river can be seen the Industrial Training Ship Mount Edgecumbe. Just visible in the foreground is the top of London South Western Railway cutting of their line from Devonport (Kings Road) to London, Waterloo via Oakhampton and Exeter
