South Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge, Railroad bridge in Pennsylvania, United States.
The South Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge extends across the Schuylkill River with stone arches and multiple tracks for various rail services.
The bridge construction started in 1866 under engineer John A. Wilson, later completed by George Brooke Roberts for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The structure appears in several works by American artists, including Thomas Eakins' painting 'Max Schmitt in a Single Scull'.
The bridge carries Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains along with SEPTA and NJ Transit commuter rail lines connecting Philadelphia's transportation network.
Between 1912 and 1915, the bridge expanded from two to five tracks, replacing its original iron truss with stone arches designed by Alexander C. Shand.
