Summary edit
| Description |
English: Railway Bridge over the River Dee. A class 40 brings a short passenger train out of Chester on route for the North Wales coast. The Roodee Racecourse is visible on the right. The Gas Holders on the left have since been replaced the new Chester Racecourse stables along with apartments, (info supplied by John S Turner). The tracks the train is using have been lifted. Beyond is the City of Chester skyline. Compare this 1979 view with the current one by John S Turner - 1069405.
The Bridge over the Dee was the scene of an early railway bridge failure in 1847 when one of the girders collapsed as a train was crossing. Fortunately casualties were light, only 5 people died and 16 were injured. The Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson, was condemned by the Inspector-General as having girders that were too weak, with unsound construction principles employed. |
