Fort Wayne Railroad Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fort Wayne Railroad Bridge is a double-deck steel truss railroad bridge spanning the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The upper deck carries two tracks of Conrail and Amtrak traffic. The lower deck is unused. The bridge crosses 40 feet above the Allegheny and its longest span is 319 feet. The bridge was built between 1901 and 1904 by American Bridge Company on the piers of the 1868 bridge it replaced.
