Cincinnati Southern Rwy Tennessee River Lift Bridge (Chattanooga, Tennessee)

            Historical marker for the old Cincinnati Southern Railway Bridge over the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The sign states:

This historic railroad bridge was completed in 1888 and rebuilt in 1980. The round stone pier support near the middle of the bridge is part of the original structure. The Cincinnati Southern line provided the first major north-south passenger rail route constructed after the Civil War. Financed by the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the line terminated in Chattanooga, a hub for rail service to the South. In 1880, a Cincinnati newspaper reporter dubbed the first train leaving for Tennessee, “The Chattanooga Choo Choo.” Glen Miller later popularized the name in his famous 1941 song.

The bridge has become a favored nesting site of the rare peregrine falcon. Tennessee Ornithological Society members, as well as residents and visitors to Chattanooga, have been observing the activities of the falcons since 1997.
