railway bridge
Elevated train crossing
A railway bridge is a bridge designed to carry railroad tracks, allowing trains to cross over obstacles such as rivers, valleys, roads, or other rail lines.
The term appears more commonly in British English; Americans typically say railroad bridge.
The old railway bridge collapsed under the weight of the freight train.
