The structure:

"...The formerly double-track line crosses the Ruhr Valley on two bridges connected by an approximately 270-meter-long causeway. One is the actual river bridge over the Ruhr, a riveted steel truss bridge whose four spans, each 27.3 meters long, rest on three piers built of natural stone between the two abutments. Today, the Ruhr flows beneath three of the spans, while Langenberger Straße runs under the southern fourth span. The Cologne Engineering Company (Cölnische Maschinenbau-AG), founded in 1856, played a key role in the construction of this bridge. The piers were completed in November 1862, and the superstructures were assembled by mid-January 1863. ..."
