Schuylkill Arsenal Railroad Bridge is a wrought iron, two-track, deck truss swing bridge across the Schuylkill River between the University City and Grays Ferry neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] It was built in 1885–86 by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Today, its swing span has been fixed shut, and the electrical catenary de-energized.
The bridge is named for the Schuylkill Arsenal, which operated from 1799 to 1926 near the bridge's eastern approaches.[2] Its western approach runs past the University of Pennsylvania's Meiklejohn Stadium.[3]
In January 2014, a CSX train carrying crude oil derailed on the bridge.[4]
