Toledo Terminal Lower Maumee River Swing Bridge, 2015
Toledo Terminal Lower Maumee River Swing Bridge, 2015
The Toledo Terminal Lower Maumee River Swing Bridge, photographed here from the US Brig Niagara was built between 1901 and 1903. Unlike its counterpart, the Upper Maumee River Swing Bridge, it remains an active railroad bridge for CSX. Trains crossing the railroad bridges have priority over vessel traffic, so boats of all sizes have to coordinate with the railways when sailing up the Maumee River.
