P.W. & B. Railroad Bridge, Railway bridge near Port Deposit, United States
The P.W. & B. Railroad Bridge spans the Susquehanna River with 13 sections, including a central draw span measuring 3,269 feet in total length.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad constructed this first bridge over the Susquehanna River, which officially opened on November 26, 1866.
This bridge marked the completion of the first mainline railroad connection between Philadelphia and Baltimore, transforming regional transportation patterns.
The structure underwent modifications from wood to iron spans after the Pennsylvania Railroad acquired control in 1881 to accommodate increasing train weights.
A tornado struck the wooden components shortly after completion in July 1866, requiring immediate repairs before the first passenger trains could cross.
