The Reversing Falls Railway Bridge is the name given to two different steel truss bridges crossing the Saint John River at the same location in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The original bridge was constructed in 1885 immediately upstream of a highway crossing known as the Reversing Falls Bridge. Measuring 372 metres (1,220 ft) in length, the railway bridge carried a single-track main line. A replacement structure keeping much of the same design was opened in 1922 to accommodate heavier loads; the original being demolished in 1921.

| - Die Reversing Falls Railway Bridge ist eine stählerne Fachwerkbrücke über den Saint John River in Saint John in der kanadischen Provinz New Brunswick. Die Brücke überquert den Fluss auf Höhe der sogenannten Reversing Falls kurz vor dessen Mündung in die Bay of Fundy. Die erste Brücke an dieser Stelle wurde 1885 unmittelbar nördlich einer Straßenbrücke gebaut, die den Namen Reversing Falls Bridge trug. Die Brücke war 372 Meter lang und trug eine eingleisige Eisenbahnstrecke. (de)

| - Die Reversing Falls Railway Bridge ist eine stählerne Fachwerkbrücke über den Saint John River in Saint John in der kanadischen Provinz New Brunswick. Die Brücke überquert den Fluss auf Höhe der sogenannten Reversing Falls kurz vor dessen Mündung in die Bay of Fundy. Die erste Brücke an dieser Stelle wurde 1885 unmittelbar nördlich einer Straßenbrücke gebaut, die den Namen Reversing Falls Bridge trug. Die Brücke war 372 Meter lang und trug eine eingleisige Eisenbahnstrecke. Sie wurde durch die St. John Bridge and Railway Extension Company gebaut, die der Stadt St. John gehörte und sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hatte, die beiden Abschnitte der früheren European and North American Railway zu verbinden. Der östliche Abschnitt nach Moncton wurde in den 1870er Jahren durch die Intercolonial Railway übernommen, der westliche Abschnitt war seit 1883 in Besitz der New Brunswick Railway (NBR) bzw. deren Tochtergesellschaft, der St. John and Maine Railway. Die St. John Bridge and Railroad Extension Company wurde nach Fertigstellung der Brücke von der NBR gekauft. Die NBR wurde 1890 ihrerseits durch die Canadian Pacific Railway übernommen. Um schwerere Züge transportieren zu können, wurde die alte Brücke 1921 abgerissen und durch einen sehr ähnlich aufgebauten Neubau ersetzt, der Ende 1921 in Betrieb ging. Seit dem 1. Januar 1995 gehört die Brücke der , nachdem die Canadian Pacific die Strecke zu diesem Zeitpunkt stilllegen wollte. (de)
- The Reversing Falls Railway Bridge is the name given to two different steel truss bridges crossing the Saint John River at the same location in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The original bridge was constructed in 1885 immediately upstream of a highway crossing known as the Reversing Falls Bridge. Measuring 372 metres (1,220 ft) in length, the railway bridge carried a single-track main line. It was constructed by the Saint John Bridge and Railroad Extension Company which was a municipal-owned corporation established to connect two separated sections of the former European and North American Railway project. The eastern section of the E&NAR was merged into the Intercolonial Railway following Confederation while the western section was acquired by the New Brunswick Railway (NBR). The Saint John Bridge and Railroad Extension Company was acquired by the NBR following the construction of the bridge. The NBR was purchased by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1890. A replacement structure keeping much of the same design was opened in 1922 to accommodate heavier loads; the original being demolished in 1921. In 1976 NB Power constructed the Lorneville Pipeline from Irving Oil's Canaport supertanker oil terminal at , 4 km (2.5 mi) southeast of the city to the Coleson Cove Generating Station, 16 km (9.9 mi) southwest of the city; it crosses the Saint John River using this bridge. The City of Saint John also uses the bridge to carry water supply pipes. The railway bridge is currently owned and operated by the New Brunswick Southern Railway, following CPR's sale of its Canadian Atlantic Railway subsidiary in 1995. (en)
