railroad bridge
Train river crossing
A railroad bridge is a bridge designed to carry railway tracks across an obstacle—a river, valley, road, or other railroad.
The term emphasizes the structural requirements for supporting heavy locomotive traffic: The old railroad bridge still carries freight trains across the gorge.
Also called a railway bridge, especially in British English.
