| A study of the Victoria Falls bridge using old postcards and photographs |
The Victoria Falls Bridge is 100 years old in 2005.
I need little encouragement to include this famous bridge on the website. After all, it must
be the biggest piece of railway preservation outside of the Railway Museum, and it is
improbable that it will ever be relocated there.
As with the Bulawayo Railway Museum pages, I expect that this section will forever be a
work in progress, and welcome appropriate contributions.
Enjoy!
