- 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).

- Notes:
- This bridge also known as the Falls View or Upper Steel Arch Bridge, was built from 1895 to 1898 to replace the Falls View Suspension Bridge (a.k.a. Niagara-Clifton Suspension Bridge) due to an increase in railway traffic. It was designed by Leffert L. Buck and it was built around the existing suspension bridge (which was later moved to the Queenston-Lewiston site). It was destroyed in 1938 when an ice jam on the river damaged the hinges of the arch, causing the bridge to collapse.
