New Castle Bridge Railings
Description
The New Castle Bridge Company constructed a large number of small steel stringer bridges in it's short existence, as well as many large through truss spans. None of these little structures are known to still exist as they were easily and cheaply replaced. These railings that measure approximately 8 feet in length represent a remnant of one of those spans and are an important piece of history as well.Facts
