About Shelby Bottoms Railroad Bridge
The substructure and steel erection was handled by the Foster-Creighton-Gould Company of Nashville and the steel superstructure was erected by the American Bridge Company of New York. The approximate 3,000-foot crossing, including the 300-foot main Camelback through truss span, three 200-foot Warren through truss spans, and three 135-foot deck truss spans, was completed in the fall of 1913.
