The Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge stood from 1855 to 1897 across the Niagara River and was the world's first working railway suspension bridge. It spanned 825 feet (251 m) and stood 2.5 miles (4.0 km) downstream of Niagara Falls, where it connected Niagara Falls, Ontario to Niagara Falls, New York. Trains used the upper of its two decks, while pedestrians and carriages used the lower. The bridge was the idea of Canadian politicians, and it was built by an American company and a Canadian company. It was most commonly called the Suspension Bridge, although other names included Niagara Railway Suspension Bridge, Niagara Suspension Bridge, and its official American name of the International Suspension Bridge.

  • Le pont suspendu des chutes du Niagara (anglais : Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge) était un ancien pont, le premier pont suspendu praticable par le chemin de fer. Il était cependant également ouvert aux chariots hippomobiles. Les trains utilisaient la partie supérieure de ses deux ponts, les piétons et les chariots la partie inférieure. (fr)

  • 尼亚加拉瀑布吊桥(英文:Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge)是世界上首座铁路吊桥。该桥长达825英尺(251米),在1855年至1897年间矗立在尼亚加拉瀑布下游2.5英里(4.0公里)处。吊桥横跨尼亚加拉河,连接了安大略省的尼亚加拉瀑布城与纽约州的尼亚加拉瀑布城两城(这两个城市在1892年分别合并了大桥两端的小镇);吊桥上下两层分别供不同的交通工具通行:上层供火车通行,下层供行人步行和马车通行。由于该桥是由两个国家的两个公司合建的,尼亚加拉瀑布吊桥在美国又被称作“国际吊桥”(International Suspension Bridge)。此外,该桥还有别的一些名称,譬如“尼亚加拉铁路吊桥”(Niagara Railway Suspension Bridge)和“尼亚加拉吊桥”(Niagara Suspension Bridge),但该桥在英语世界最常见且最权威的名称还是最简明的“Suspension Bridge”(吊桥)。 (zh)
  • Die Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge war eine zweistöckige Eisenbahn- und Straßenbrücke über den Niagara River etwa vier Kilometer unterhalb der Niagarafälle. Sie verband die erst später unter dem gleichen Namen auftretenden Orte Niagara Falls (Ontario) und Niagara Falls (New York) und damit auch die Länder USA und Kanada. Die von John Augustus Roebling in der Zeit von 1851 bis 1855 gebaute Brücke war nicht nur die erste dauerhafte Brücke über den Niagara River, sondern auch die erste Hängebrücke im Eisenbahnverkehr und außerdem die erste der von Roebling gebauten großen Hängebrücken.
