Disaster On The NBR: The Tay Bridge Collapse

[@joshslater2426]

I had a book as a kid which had a two page spread on the Tay Bridge disaster. It’s quite a fascinating incident with a very mysterious undertone. I can understand why they eventually scrapped the loco despite managing to actually pull it out the river.

[@chicagolandrailroader]

Makes you think. Railroads have come a long way in safety. Tragic that things like this had to happen for measures to be taken and engineering taken under heavier scrutiny. I love your documentary type vids, keep it up!

[@Brayden4472]

Rip 🪦 to those who died. Great video Trainboy!

[@Lochyocky]

My grandma always told me about this disaster when I was little. Very good video!

[@Matthew-oi6kz]

VERY good video, and very respectful too.

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you so much my homie, it’s very appreciated and I hope you enjoyed :)💪

[@briandesens144]

Awesome video trainboy

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you so much my brotha, I hope you enjoyed and make sure you have a good one today :)💪

[@briandesens144]

@@ItsTrainBoy you're welcome 😊 buddy 😊 and I did enjoy it 😀 😊 👍

[@andrewj15]

Awesome video dude. Also isn't cast iron really weak hence the reason its not typically used?

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you so much my brother man :)💪 It’s pretty common believe it or not just because the metal is good with compression and resistant to it, it’s equally not the strongest just like you said though. I imagine it needs A LOT of treatment or anything else before use in engineering 😅

[@DukeOfTrains]

Cast iron was the material used to make a whole lot of toys back when

[@gojicrushers]

These type of videos are awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@JohnHidy-t2b]

I had never heard of this incident before. Very sad and interesting. Reminds me of the disaster of the Florida Keys Flagler Rail line and the hurricane that took out the 7 mile bridge and killed a great many good people

Edinburgh is pronounced "Edd-in-bur-uh".

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you my friend 💪

[@nitrothemountainengine66]

Awesome video i love videos on my home town (also Edinburgh is prounced eh-din-bu-ruh) I've actually scene the girder that collapsed it's in the broughty castle meusem (burntisland is pronced burnt-eye-land)

[@TweeksCoffeee]

Watching this in Tayport right now, just about a mile from the bridge!

[@BillandBenProductions6792]

It looks like you’re a really good history teacher by telling everyone on KZbin about history about some railway locomotives and what happened to them?

[@caledonianrailway1233]

Finally somthing from my neck of the woods

[@trainman476]

Very interesting video, is it possible you could do a video on the Jinty Class?

[@RossParker1877]

Yay. Scottish Video. Love from Scotland

[@whitelionstudios1786]

wait, that second theory backs up the bridge guy's witness testimony of something being wrong with the train, it's almost like there was an explosion, let's think about it, "Three distinct flashes and then one great flash" after the wheels were sparking and a fire started. i never knew that witness account existed, but it is starting to make me wonder. an explosion on any bridge that's not exactly built the best would take it down, and what else could cause such a flash? it doesn't appear that the locomotive's boiler blew during the collapse, so it raises a lot of questions

[@stacy4468]

Could we get a video on the Armagh disaster?

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

4:23 that image looks very terrifying

[@Del_S]

Where the hell is Edenboro?

[@ThomastheE2]

Finally we’re back to real life accidents.

[@arthurduncan5999]

A relation to my grandmother died in that disaster and in 1951 I had a nightmare of dying in that disaster and seeing the dead standing in the river. The young woman was Elizabeth Milne and her spirit still resides in me. only 75 were registered to have actually died in the disaster. Most of this talk is not fact but fiction, my story is fact as Elizabeth still talks to me and is waiting for me to pass on and join her in the next life.

[@connorflaherty175]

I truly believe the tay bridge disaster was the basis for Percy’s story at the start of “Ghost Train”/“Percy’s Ghostly Trick”

[@harrisonallen651]

The engine was lucky to have a second chance after being rescued

[@That_one_random_ginger]

Was is name Thomas Barclay or Barlay

Your almost to 69k subs 🌚

[@Jamesdaniele]

Oh Dear.

[@Notsosplendid5]

Dear god😢

[@JohnWayne-n3i]

Wow, what a tragic story. It's crazy to think that something meant to make travel easier ended up causing so much harm. It's a reminder of how important it is for engineers to make sure things are safe. Glad they eventually built a new bridge, though.

This was a event on the game victoria 2

Damn that’s dark

[@theradialtank212]

Nice

[@Track_Side]

What is it with railway Bridges, water, and train wreckes around Christmas time, first tiawangai and now this? I spelled 👆wrong sorry

[@frogmouth2]

This story was used as the basis for the season 9 Thomas episode, Thomas and the mass tragedy
