Royal Albert Rail Bridge in Saltash, UK

I don't normally do foreign bridges, but, if I remember my bridge history from decades ago, this rail bridge was a pioneering engineering feat.

Brunel's railway bridge connecting Devon and Cornwall between Plymouth and Saltash was built in 1859. Road traffic between the counties was carried on a chain ferry until October 1961 when a new bridge was built adjacent to Brunel's masterpiece. Below the bridge is a memorial to those US military personnel who embarked for the beaches of France on D-Day 1945.

An unusual set of photos that I hope will be of interest from a fellow ex London BR apprentice, Dave Vaughan, who now works for Network Rail down in the west country,
