Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge at Manayunk, about 1895

This view is from the Lower Merion side of the Schuylkill River, with Manayunk and Roxborough on the opposite side. The hillside is in the foreground is now part of Westminster Cemetery, which opened in 1894. This panorama was made by stitching two photographs. The steel trusses of this sinuous bridge were replaced by the concrete supports of the current bridge, which is now part of the Cynwyd Heritage Trail.
