- Die Metropolis Bridge ist eine eingleisige Eisenbahnbrücke über den Ohio zwischen der Stadt Metropolis in Illinois und dem McCracken County in Kentucky. Nach einer mehrjährigen Planungsphase wurde sie zwischen 1915 und 1917 von der Paducah and Illinois Railroad errichtet, einer zu gleichen Teilen von der Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway und der Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad gegründeten Bau- und Betreibergesellschaft. Die fast zwei Kilometer lange Stahlbrücke besitzt mit 220 Metern den weltweit zweitlängsten einfachen Fachwerkträger einer Eisenbahnbrücke und war ursprünglich für einen zweigleisigen Ausbau konzipiert, der während ihres über 100-jährigen Bestehens aber nie umgesetzt wurde. Die Paducah and Illinois Railroad ist weiterhin Eigner der Brücke, die heute von mehreren Eisenbahngesellschaften aus den USA und Kanada genutzt wird. (de)
- The Metropolis Bridge is a railroad bridge which spans the Ohio River at Metropolis, Illinois. Originally built for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, construction began in 1914 under the direction of engineer Ralph Modjeski. The bridge consists of the following: (from north to south)
* Deck plate-girder approach spans
* One riveted, 9-panel Parker through truss
* Five pin-connected, Pennsylvania through trusses
* One pin-connected, 8-panel Pratt deck truss
* Deck plate-girder approach spans Total length of the bridge is 6,424 feet (1,958 m). The largest span stretches 708 feet (216 m), and remains the longest pin-connected simple through truss span in the world. Cost of the bridge when built was $4,000,000. (USD) Not long after completion in 1917, ownership of the bridge was passed on to the Paducah and Illinois Railroad, a newly formed railroad jointly owned by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. In 1925, the Illinois Central Railroad purchased a 1/3 share of the Paducah and Illinois Railroad, and assumed operations and maintenance, as the bridge served as an important link in their newly completed Edgewood-Fulton Cutoff route. As of 2013, the bridge is still owned by the Paducah and Illinois Railroad, with operations managed by the Canadian National Railway and bridge maintenance/inspection managed by BNSF Railway, where it continues to see heavy use.
