I believe this locomotive was repaired and put back into service! Though from the evidence of this photo they must have scrapped the frames, since they are clearly badly buckled. Perhaps it was just the boiler and wheels they reused?

A fascinating set of views. I know the engineer Bouch was well-known for his lightweight bridges on other railways, but this group of photos gives a graphic impression of the fragility of the first Tay Bridge.

The bridge collapsed in a storm the night of the 28th December 1879. Unfortunately a train was on it at the time and the 75 passengers and crew on board were killed.
