Opening of the Aberdeen Railway - Dee Bridge and Aberdeen Terminus, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Opening of the Aberdeen Railway - Dee Bridge and Aberdeen Terminus, 1850. In the foreground is represented the elegant bridge across the Dee, from the designs of Messrs. Locke and Errington...In the background are seen the suspension-bridge erected several years ago...the enterprising city of Aberdeen...has, for some time, been the only town of its size in the island without a direct railroad communication with the metropolis; and the commercial advantages likely to result from this establishment of a direct continuous route of upwards of 500 miles to London, cannot be too highly appreciated...Many goods - for instance, those imported into Glasgow from the West Indies, and which must run risk of injury from frequent handling and change of transport - will now be conveyed direct, instead of the circuitous route by rail or canal to Leith or Edinburgh, and thence by sea'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
