EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Portage Viaduct, an engineering marvel from the late 19th century. Located in Letchworth State Park, New York, this iron railroad bridge spans the breathtaking Genesee River, just above the Upper Falls in Livingston County. Built circa 1874, the Portage Viaduct, also known as the Portage Bridge, Portageville Viaduct, or Portageville Bridge, was an essential addition to the railroad network in the United States during the 1800s. The bridge's distinctive design showcases the ingenuity and innovation of the era, with its impressive arches and intricate details. This photograph, taken in the 1890s, captures the bridge in its prime, with the shimmering waters of the Genesee River flowing calmly below. The image evokes a sense of wonder and adventure, as the train makes its way across the bridge, leaving a trail of steam in its wake. The Portage Viaduct was a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the transformative impact of transportation infrastructure on the American landscape. Today, it remains a cherished piece of history, a reminder of the past, and a source of inspiration for future generations.
