Fort Wayne Railroad Bridge
Fort Wayne Railroad Bridge, Double-deck railroad bridge in Pittsburgh, United States.
The Fort Wayne Railroad Bridge spans 985 feet across the Allegheny River with a steel truss design featuring two decks for rail transportation.
The American Bridge Company constructed this steel structure between 1901 and 1904, replacing an existing bridge from 1868 at the same location.
The bridge stands as an engineering achievement from the early 1900s, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit.
Norfolk Southern and Amtrak trains currently operate on the upper deck, while the lower deck tracks were removed during Pennsylvania Station modifications.
Engineers raised the entire bridge structure and its approaches in 1918 to increase the navigational clearance for river vessels beneath.
