Shocks Mills Bridge, Railway bridge over Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania, United States
The Shocks Mills Bridge extends 2209 feet across the Susquehanna River, featuring 28 stone arches that raise the tracks 60 feet above water level.
The Pennsylvania Railroad constructed this bridge in 1905 as part of their Low-Grade Lines project, connecting Philadelphia to Harrisburg for freight transportation.
The bridge represents early 20th-century American railway engineering, demonstrating the period's infrastructure development through its brick arch construction methods.
Norfolk Southern Railway currently operates freight services across the bridge, which underwent major reconstruction in 1973 after Hurricane Agnes damaged six central piers.
The structure combines original stone arches with modern concrete and steel spans, resulting from the 1972 reconstruction that cost over 3 billion dollars in repairs.
