The steel railway bridge in Weilburg was built in 1862 by the Lahntalbahn, which ran from Lahnstein to Wetzlar, at kilometer 23.22 so that the Lahntalbahn could cross the Lahn.

The steel railway bridge in Weilburg is part of the Lahn Valley Railway from Lahnstein to Wetzlar and is located at kilometer 23.22. It was built in 1862 to carry the Lahn Valley Railway across the river and has been renovated several times since then.

In the immediate vicinity, just a few meters downstream, the Eiserne Steg leads as a footpath and cycle path as the 7th Weilburg Bridge over the Lahn.

@Andrea: Your comment doesn't really make any sense to me: 1. The subsequent tunnel cannot be seen and 2. There is no way to take the train under or into the castle.
