This page previously said that "The first engine to cross the bridge was on September 22, 1877 and upon its completion in early 1878, the Tay bridge was the longest in the world." However, Victoria Bridge in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, was completed earlier (1859 vs 1878) and is substantially longer (over 5km/3mi vs 3.5km/2.25mi according to this article). Therefore I have changed the article to state that "...the Tay bridge was among the longest in the world."
