The PC&Y Railroad Bridge carries a single railroad track over the Ohio River, between Stowe Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and Neville Island, Pennsylvania.
Description
Built in 1894, this through truss railroad bridge once served the Pittsburgh, Chartiers & Youghiogheny Railroad. It spans the back channel of the Ohio River, and it is still in use today. A single rail line crosses the bridge, connecting chemical plants on the industrial half of the island with the Pittsburgh and Ohio Central Railroad mainline.
