On December 28, 1879 a terrible accident took place on the Tay Bridge a very violent storm was sweeping the Tay Bridge. A North British Railway train was on the bridge at the time. Then all of a sudden girders from the bridge came off and the bridge collapsed taking the train and its 70 passengers with it. Only until after its due time did they realize something happened. A year later in 1880 two bodies and the locomotive were recovered. The engine was nicknamed, ''The Diver'' it was repaired and place back in service and a new bridge was built, but needles to say that didn't silence the ghosts of the past every anniversery people say that the see the train trying to get across the bridge, but it never makes it to the other side. Here is a photo of the engine that was recovered.
