The first 'train' consisting of an engine, coal tender and wagon carrying Caledonian Railway personnel and contractors crossed this bridge in a trial in 1864 though the whole line never opened until the following year. This bridge is still used by passenger and freight trains many times per day. Victorian engineering par excellance.
