OK, I got this reply over on Deco Stop...

"I checked on what I have at home and bookmarked; the locomotive was actually raised, repaired and put back into service. The girders which were still in good shape were reused in building the new bridge, which is 60' from the old one. The original piers were left as a breakwater for the new bridge.

The city of Dundee has an interesting site on the disaster and aftermath.

Looks like no joy on train wreck diving in Dundee...

Thanks to everyone for their input! Its a bit disappointing that the wreckage was removed, but its a really interesting story, besides I guess finding lost gold would be a lot cooler than diving a wrecked train in roaring current and zero vis anyway!
