the Trisanna Bridge of the Albergbahn, Austria


A much photographed spot on the West-East Arlbergbahn is this 230 metre long, 87 metre high bridge.  It comprises four stone arches and a central 120 metre long steel span.  It dates from 1883 and has been strengthened twice: in 1923 with a fish-belly shaped girder addition and in 1964 the steel was again supplemented. This shows the Schloss (Castle) Wiesberg on the eastern bridgehead.
