Hi-Line Railroad Bridge, Railroad bridge in Valley City, North Dakota.
The Hi-Line Railroad Bridge stretches 3,860 feet across the Sheyenne River valley, standing 162 feet above the water on 30 steel towers.
The Northern Pacific Railroad completed this engineering marvel in 1908 to eliminate steep grades that slowed train traffic through the Sheyenne River valley.
During both World Wars, National Guard soldiers protected this essential transportation link that connected the East and West coasts of the United States.
The bridge continues to serve as an active railway crossing for BNSF Railway freight trains, maintaining its role in American transportation infrastructure.
The structure required 14 million pounds of steel, 380,000 field rivets, and 80,000 linear feet of wood piling to support its massive concrete foundations.
