The record names a railroad bridge over the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, photographed in 1905 and filed under trains. Rail crossings of the Susquehanna were vital to the region's industry, carrying coal, iron, and passengers across a river that was otherwise hard to cross, and by the early 1900s railroads were replacing older timber spans with heavier steel and masonry structures. The record does not give the bridge's exact location or builder, but the picture still shows how central these crossings were to the state's rail network.
