It was originally built from iron in 1882 and held the record as the tallest railroad bridge in the World for two years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical artwork of the Kinzua Bridge, also known as the Kinzua Viaduct, located in Pennsylvania, USA. Dating back to 1883, this engraving depicts the magnificent railroad trestle that once spanned over Kinzua Creek. Standing tall at an impressive height of 92 meters and stretching across a length of 625 meters, this iron structure held the title as the tallest railroad bridge in the world for two years. The Kinzua Bridge's significance goes beyond its remarkable stature. In 1900, it underwent a transformation when it was dismantled and reconstructed using steel materials to accommodate heavier trains. This engineering feat symbolizes progress and innovation in transportation during that era. Tragically, in 2003, Mother Nature unleashed her fury upon this iconic landmark when a tornado caused its collapse. Despite its demise, this artwork immortalizes the grandeur and historical importance of what was once considered an architectural marvel. As we gaze upon this monochrome illustration from Bildagentur-online/Tschanz/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are transported back to a time where railways were lifelines connecting communities across vast distances. The image serves as a testament to human ingenuity while reminding us of our ever-changing landscape throughout history.
