Market Street Railroad Bridge

This view, looking east, shows the expanded permanent bridge at Market (formerly High) Street in the mid-19th century. The bridge was a combination railroad bridge and passageway for pedestrian and animal traffic. Here a man on horseback is driving his cattle up the ramp of the bridge.
