CPKC/Reading Wye Bridges over Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, PA

Stone: (no Bridge Hunter; no Historic Bridges; Satellite)

Girder: (Satellite)

I can't believe that neither Bridge Hunter nor Historic Bridges has documented at least the stone arch bridge.

Because of the Falls Bridge trusses in the background of the above photo, it was easy to identify the location of these bridges.

Only the stone arch bridge appears in an 1893 topo map. The steel girder bridge also appears in an 1894 topo map.

CPKC owns the bridges. But CSX owns the eastern route.
