Bridgeton Iron bridge 1892, Parke Co, IN
Uploaded: November 17, 2010
The Wrought Iron Bridge Company Canton, Ohio specialized in relatively short-span iron truss bridges. Most were built for highway use, as the railroads were all privately owned at the time and employed their own engineers. The company supplied a catalog of bridge designs and mass produced the parts to build these designs. Once a bridge was ordered, the pieces were shipped by train to the nearest station. Thus, local contractors were able to assemble a bridge very quickly, much like a model.
