Eisenbahnbrücke am Rheinfall, Railway bridge near Rhine Falls, Switzerland
The single-track railway bridge spans the Rhine River upstream from the Rhine Falls, featuring nine stone arches and connecting Laufen-Uhwiesen with Neuhausen.
The bridge was constructed between 1855 and 1856 under engineer Carl Ruland's direction, with a later addition of pedestrian walkways during renovations in the late 1950s.
The structure forms part of the Rheinfall Railway line, which links the industrial centers of Winterthur and Schaffhausen through the northern Swiss landscape.
Two pedestrian paths measuring 1.4 meters in width flank the railway track, providing access points for visitors to view the Rhine Falls.
The bridge's design incorporates varying arch spans between 12 and 18 meters to accommodate the irregular riverbed formation beneath the Rhine Falls.
