Tonegawa River Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Katori, Japan
The Tonegawa River Railway Bridge spans 660 meters across the river with steel Warren truss structures supporting parallel rail tracks.
The initial bridge construction began in 1907, using brick piers with cornerstone reinforcements and curved Pratt trusses for the railway passage.
The bridge features in Tayama Katai's novel 'Again in the Grass Field', where it represents the transformation of local transportation networks.
The bridge contains two separate lines with different pier configurations, where the upward track truss rises higher in the central section.
The structure incorporates 10 truss spans for the downward line and 7 truss spans for the upward line, each with specific engineering requirements.
