The railroad bridge over the Wissahickon near Manayunk spans a wooded creek gorge where the Wissahickon meets the Schuylkill River on the northwest edge of Philadelphia. Manayunk grew into a mill village in the 19th century, and rail lines serving its factories made crossings like this one a familiar part of the local landscape. The record gives no date for this print, but its hand coloring is worth noting, since color was often added by hand to 19th-century views of American scenery.
