Bridge with a dark history. It was designed by noted railway engineer Thomas Bouch and opened on June 1, 1878.

During a violent storm on the evening of 28 December 1879, the centre section of this first bridge, known as the "High Girders", collapsed, taking with it a train that was running on its single track. More than 75 lives were lost, including Sir Thomas' son-in-law.
