Sabula Rail Bridge, Railway swing bridge in Sabula and Savanna, United States.

The Sabula Rail Bridge features a metal multiple-type-connected Pratt through truss design with a main span measuring 360 feet across the Mississippi River.

The American Bridge Company of New York constructed this railway bridge in 1906 to serve the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad operations.

The bridge functions as a central infrastructure element connecting the communities of Sabula, Iowa, and Savanna, Illinois, across the Mississippi River.

The bridge rotates on a center pier mechanism to allow boat traffic passage underneath while maintaining railway connections between Iowa and Illinois.

The structure incorporates several pin-connected truss designs, including a 360-foot swing span followed by a 260-foot Parker truss span.
