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. rdf:langString

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）。 rdf:langString

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. rdf:langString

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. rdf:langString

rdf:langString A man, two woman, and a dog are in the left foreground, viewing a bridge that spans a river. The bridge is suspended on lines that are supported by two stone towers on each side of the river and anchored by lines to each shore. The bridge has two levels; a train travels on the top level, while people and horse-drawn carriages cross on the bottom. In the river, downstream from the bridge, a boat is visible. In the distance is Niagara Falls.

rdf:langString Die Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge war eine zweistöckige Eisenbahn- und Straßenbrücke über den Niagara River etwa vier Kilometer unterhalb der Niagarafälle.

Die Brücke war von zwei Brückenbaugesellschaften aus den beiden Ländern gemeinsam in Auftrag gegeben worden. Sie wurde mit unterschiedlichen Namen bezeichnet wie International Suspension Bridge, Niagara Railway Suspension Bridge, Niagara Suspension Bridge oder schlicht die Suspension Bridge. Das untere Brückendeck auf dem Niveau des umliegenden Geländes wurde von Personen und Fuhrwerken benutzt. Das obere Deck hatte ein Gleis und diente damit den Zügen der New York Central Railroad, der und der New York and Erie Rail Road. Da die drei Eisenbahngesellschaften damals noch drei unterschiedliche Spurweiten nutzten, bestand das Gleis ursprünglich aus vier Schienen, so dass die eingleisige Brücke von allen Zügen benutzt werden konnte.

rdf:langString 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. The bridge was part of Canadian politician William Hamilton Merritt's vision to promote trade within his country and with its neighbor the United States. Many argued that a suspension bridge could not support the safe passage of trains, including bridge builders. Nonetheless, the bridge companies hired Charles Ellet, Jr., who laid a line by a kite across the 800-foot (240 m) chasm and built a temporary suspension bridge in 1848. Ellet left the project after a financial dispute with the bridge companies, who hired John Augustus Roebling to complete the project. By 1854, his bridge was nearly complete, and the lower deck was opened for pedestrian and carriage travel. On March 18, 1855, a fully laden passenger train officially opened the completed bridge. The Suspension Bridge was a border crossing between Canada and the United States, and it played significant roles in the histories of the Niagara region and the two countries. Three railway lines crossed over the bridge, connecting cities on both sides of the border. The Great Western Railway, New York Central Railroad, and New York and Erie Rail Road differed in track gauge; the bridge used a triple gauge system to conserve space, overlapping two tracks on top of each other and using a rail of each to form the third track. The railroads brought a large influx of trade and tourists into the region around the Niagara Falls. In the time leading to the American Civil War, the Underground Railroad helped slaves in the United States escape across the Suspension Bridge to freedom in Canada. After the war, the bridge became a symbol of inspiration to Americans, encouraging them to rebuild their country and pushing them to quickly industrialize their nation. The bridge's success proved that a railway suspension bridge could be safe and operational. Its wooden structures began to decay and were replaced with stronger steel and iron versions by 1886. Heavier trains required it to be replaced by the Steel Arch Bridge, later renamed the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, on August 27, 1897.

Будучи пограничным мостом между США и Канадой, способствовал развитию торговых отношений между этими двумя странами. Длина моста 251 м, он находился в 2,5 милях (4,0 км) ниже по течению от Ниагарского водопада, что создало ему дополнительную привлекательность для туристов, а также способствовало их перемещению с одного берега на другой. Изначательно проектированием и строительством сооружения занимался молодой инженер , однако после возведения предварительной постройки он был отстранён от работ из-за финансовых разногласий с заказчиками. Окончательный проект выполнил Джон Рёблинг, изобретатель стального троса и мостостроитель. Проект Рёблинга, реализацию которого ставили под сомнение ведущие инженеры того времени, оказался настолько успешным, что позволил американским политикам заявить о своём превосходстве перед технически более продвинутыми европейцами. Сам Рёблинг, приобретший авторитет, позднее был выбран в качестве главного инженера для строительства Бруклинского моста.
