Steam locomotive No 6319, with a freight tr
Steam locomotive No 6319, with a freight train crossing the Royal Albert Bridge, Saltash, Cornwall, c 1950s. The Royal Albert Bridge was built by Sir Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859) and was his last and perhaps greatest masterpiece. It was built to span the River Tamar at Saltash to link Devon and Cornwall. It was built of wrought-iron with two spans of 455 feet and 17 short spans. Brunel also planned the Clifton suspension bridge (1864) and the Hungerford suspension bridge (1841-1845)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Steam locomotive No 6319, gracefully crossing the majestic Royal Albert Bridge in Saltash, Cornwall during the vibrant 1950s. A true testament to engineering brilliance, this bridge stands as Sir Isambard Kingdom Brunel's final and most remarkable masterpiece. Constructed with meticulous precision by Brunel himself, the Royal Albert Bridge was ingeniously designed to span across the River Tamar, connecting Devon and Cornwall. Crafted from durable wrought-iron materials, it boasts two impressive spans measuring a staggering 455 feet each, complemented by an additional 17 shorter spans. As we gaze upon this historic image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when steam locomotives reigned supreme on our railways. The powerful engine of No 6319 effortlessly pulls a freight train across this architectural marvel that seamlessly blends beauty with functionality. Brunel's visionary genius extended far beyond just bridges; he also envisioned and planned other renowned structures such as the Clifton suspension bridge (1864) and Hungerford suspension bridge (1841-1845). However, it is undoubtedly his creation of the Royal Albert Bridge that continues to captivate hearts and minds even today. This evocative photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both Britain's rich railway heritage and Brunel's indomitable spirit that pushed boundaries in pursuit of progress.
