South Canal Street Railroad Bridge

Posted on 8:28 AM by babli panday


South Canal Railroad Bridge..
Type: Vertical lift Railroad Bridge..
Completed: 1915..
Built by Waddell and Harrington..
It's the only such example of vertical lift bridge on the Chicago River..
The bridge was originally owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Now it is owned by Amtrak.


Especially like is the bridgehouse on the top on the bridge..

Also like when the bridge looks like one tall building..
