The bridge in this view crosses the Niagara Gorge just below the falls, linking the United States and Canada for trains. Designed by John A. Roebling and opened in 1855, it was among the first major railroad suspension bridges in North America and showed that a span this long could carry heavy rail traffic. Its position close to the cataract makes the picture as much a study of the falls' setting as of the engineering, and the bridge was later replaced by a stronger steel structure in the late 1890s.
