B&O Railroad Bridge, Railway bridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.
The B&O Railroad Bridge spans the Schuylkill River with three steel truss sections, connecting Bartram's Garden to the Grays Ferry neighborhood.
The American Bridge Company fabricated this three-span through truss swing bridge in 1910, replacing an earlier iron structure from 1886.
The bridge represents a significant engineering achievement from the early 20th century, demonstrating the advancement of railroad infrastructure in Philadelphia.
CSX Transportation completed extensive rehabilitation work on the bridge in 2004, including repairs to miter rails for improved opening and closing mechanisms.
The bridge structure incorporates mechanical and electrical interlocking systems that manage operations at the junction with the Reading Company at Eastwick.
