Michigan Central Railway Bridge, Steel railway bridge in Niagara Falls, United States.
The Michigan Central Railway Bridge extends 863 feet across the Niagara Gorge, connecting New York state with Ontario through a steel deck arch design.
Construction of this bridge began in 1924 under the direction of William Perry Taylor, replacing an existing cantilever structure that had operated since 1883.
The bridge represents a vital link in North American railway transportation, connecting the United States and Canada through a major industrial corridor.
The bridge structure stands 240 feet above the water level and includes two railway tracks that previously accommodated simultaneous train crossings.
Canadian Pacific Railway purchased the bridge in 1990, but train service ended in 2001 when the tracks were removed to address safety concerns.
