Delaware and Hudson Railroad Bridge
Delaware and Hudson Railroad Bridge, Railway bridge in AuSable and Peru, New York, United States.
The Delaware and Hudson Railroad Bridge comprises two parallel Warren steel truss spans that cross the Ausable River northeast of Lakeside Road in Peru. These structures were designed to carry rail traffic linking New York and Montreal as part of the regional transportation network.
The American Bridge Company constructed this bridge in 1913 for the Delaware and Hudson Railway to support anthracite coal transportation. It was built during the height of rail expansion connecting major industrial centers across the Northeast.
The bridges stand as examples of early 20th century industrial engineering, representing the advancement of steel truss construction methods in railroad infrastructure.
The bridge is visible from Lakeside Road and accessible from nearby streets in the Peru area. The site remains open year-round, though weather conditions can affect visiting comfort.
These bridges earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 under reference number 99001317, documenting their engineering significance.
