Really beautiful structure...the fact that it is still in operation and structurally sound after all these years...so many other bridges across the Susquehanna in this area have long since collapsed, been demolished or abandoned...amazing to see the Rail Road traffic utilizing it...awesome views all around!

An amazing experience, as it is heaven for the train fan. The bridge gets hundreds of trains every week, with high rates of traffic. This is probably best watched from Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast, made specifically for the trainwatching purpose. I give this a five-star, as it is AMAZING!

This is a classic piece our industrial revolution, and still functions well. This key part of infrastructure enables us to grow and continue to service to this day. The trains travel slowly across this stone arched bridge, which is one of the largest left in the world.

My initial visit, August 2023, following a long delay was a joyful experience. Trains appear at intervals of 20-35 minutes! A squat along the riverside affords the perfect view. A rail-fan's ideal spot - all for free!

Finally got my shot of the bridge with a Train on it. From the West side on the Fort Hunter Park.
