View of the Ridge Avenue Bridge, built in 1888 near the junction of the Wissahickon Creek and the Schuylkill River. A train is crossing the larger Philadelphia & Reading Railroad bridge in the background. Construction of the bridge (also known as the Wissahickon Creek Viaduct or High Stone Bridge) was begun in 1874 by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. Due to budgetary constraints, construction was halted and later completed from 1881-1882.
