From the ground, townfolk are watching a train pass over Scotland's Forth Rail Bridge, a 361 foot high bridge that spans the River Forth between South Queensferry and North Queensferry. Begun in 1883, the bridge was regarded as the eighth wonder of the world upon its completion, made of 54,000 tons of steel and 6.5 million rivets.
