Schuylkill Arsenal Railroad Bridge, Railroad bridge in Grays Ferry, United States.
The Schuylkill Arsenal Railroad Bridge spans 832 feet across the Schuylkill River, featuring nine spans with three piers positioned in the water.
The Pennsylvania Railroad constructed this wrought iron bridge between 1885 and 1886, replacing an earlier structure from 1862 that served the Delaware Extension.
The bridge received its name from the Schuylkill Arsenal, a military supply facility that operated from 1799 to 1926 near the eastern section.
CSX Transportation maintains this bridge for daily rail traffic, crossing over the Schuylkill River, CSX tracks, and Schuylkill Expressway between University City and Grays Ferry.
The bridge includes a swing span that has been permanently fixed in position, with its electrical catenary system no longer in operation.
