tay bridge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'location of railway tragedy' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'book probing tragedy i fancy' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'b' (abbreviation for book).
'probing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (probe can mean to make a hole in).
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'tragedy'+'i'='tragedyi'
'tragedyi' anagrammed gives 'tayridge'.
'b' put inside 'tayridge' is 'TAY BRIDGE'.

'finding' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tay bridge that I've seen before include "Disaster site of McGonagall's poem" , "Site of 1879 rail disaster" , "Structure collapsing in 1879" .)
