The Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge at Savage, Maryland is the sole surviving example of a revolutionary design in the history of American bridge engineering. The 160 foot (48.8 m) double-span truss bridge is one of the oldest standing iron railroad bridges in the United States. It was built for an unknown location on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1869, and was moved to its present location, spanning the Little Patuxent River on the spur to the Savage Mill, around 1887.

@Naimi: Thank you!
Lovely work on this Jen! Great perspective and dof. What a heck of a job moving that - one big Meccano set! (so long since I saw any of those model building sets I don't know if I spelled it right!). But, when you look at the pieces - that is how they must have moved it - taken it apart and put it back together again! Phew! ;-)
