The Savage Mill Bridge

From a photowalk in Savage Mill, Maryland, one of many interesting venues in this area. Savage Mill is a historic cotton mill complex in Savage, Maryland, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Buildings in the complex date from 1822 to 1916.

The Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge in Savage is the sole surviving example of a revolutionary design in the history of American bridge engineering, and the first successful all-metal bridge design to be adopted and consistently used on a railroad. You have to love all those supports!
