rail bridge
Train river crossing
A rail bridge is a bridge designed to carry railroad tracks, allowing trains to cross rivers, valleys, roads, or other obstacles.
The term emphasizes the bridge's function rather than its construction type—rail bridges may be made of steel, concrete, or timber, and take various forms from simple trestles to complex suspension spans.
