A little more perspective
The Forth Bridges partnership gives 110 meters above high water and 137 meters above foundations. This bounded above-water profile uses the high-water datum and excludes the deeper foundation portion.
The selected steel cantilever section retains its wide triangular trusses. It is not the newer Forth Road Bridge or Queensferry Crossing. The entire 2,467-meter railway crossing is not squeezed into the bounded section.
