The Eglisau railway bridge (also known as the Eglisau Rhine Bridge) is a single-track railway bridge over the Rhine in the Swiss town of Eglisau. It carries the railway line from Bülach to Schaffhausen and was built between 1895 and 1897 by the then Swiss Northeastern Railway for 980,000 Swiss francs. The bridge has a total length of 457 metres and a height of 50 metres above the river. It has been classified as a cultural asset of regional importance and is a listed building (Wikipedia).

This bridge was constructed on part of the Nordost Bahn which ran originally from Konstanz to Brugg. These stone arch bridges from the Nordost Bahn can be found in a lot of places Zürich, Aargau, Thurgau and Schaffhausen.
