Description

Die Union RR Carrie Furnace Hot Metal Bridge ist eine ehemalige zweigleisige Eisenbahnbrücke, die bei Pittsburgh den Monongahela River überspannt. Die Union Railroad transportierte von 1900 bis in die 1970er Jahre flüssiges Roheisen von den Carrie Furnaces in das Stahlwerk Homestead Steel Works.

Andrew Carnegie hatte 1898 die Hochöfen Carrie Furnaces erworben. Im Juni 1898 stand ihm die Port Perry Bridge der Union Railroad für den Bahntransport über den Monongahela zur Verfügung. Für die direkte Anbindung der Hochöfen an sein Stahlwerk in Homestead gab er den Keystone Bridge Works den Auftrag, die Hot Metal Bridge zu errichten. Am 31. Dezember 1900 fuhr der erste Zug mit Roheisen über die Brücke. Die Pfannenwagen transportierten jeweils 35 Tonnen flüssiges Eisen. Die Union Railroad gehörte ebenfalls zu Carnegies Unternehmen. Am 14. Juni 1901 wurde die Brücke für den allgemeinen Verkehr geöffnet.
