Brilliant Cutoff Viaduct of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Brilliant Cutoff Viaduct of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Stone railway bridge in Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar, Pittsburgh, United States.
The Brilliant Cutoff Viaduct spans across Washington Boulevard with stone arches supporting the railroad tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad system.
Built in 1902 under architect William H. Brown's design, the viaduct received recognition as a Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmark in 2003.
This structure represents early 20th-century engineering methods and stands as a testament to Pittsburgh's industrial transportation development.
The bridge remains operational for specific railroad functions, including turning around Amtrak's Pennsylvanian train at its southern section.
The viaduct forms part of the Brilliant Branch, which originally served to reduce train traffic congestion at Pittsburgh's Union Station.
