Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Photograph of the Queensferry cantilever at rail level. For the purpose of examining the detail of the cantilevers, we have here one of the very best of the series, the vertical columns being represented on a larger scale than any other view, and the work far enough advanced to show entire arrangement of lower half of the superstructure. The lifting platforms are considerably above rail level. As in the case of Fife, it will be noticed that the cages on the struts have been left behind, whilst those on the columns are rapidly approaching their ultimate height. Transcription from: Philip Phillips, 'The Forth Railway Bridge', Edinburgh, 1890.
