Niagara Bridges; Michigan Central Railroad arch over Niagara River

Notes:: Due to the increasing weight and train traffic the Michigan Central RR Bridge was built to replace the Michigan Central Cantilever Bridge. Its construction was delayed by WWI, but it was completed in 1925 by Michigan Central's engineer H. Isben and still exists today. For more information see: Spanning Niagara: The International Bridges 1848-1962 (Seattle: Univ. of Washington Press, 1984).
