Notes
  • Significance: Located over Gwynn's Falls near Baltimore, Maryland, the Carrollton Viaduct is the first American stone masonry bridge built for railroad use. It was named after Charles Carroll, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence, who laid the cornerstone in May 1828. Builder Caspar Weaver and designer James Lloyd completed the structure for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in November 1829, at the cost of $58,106.73.
  • Survey number: HAER MD-9
  • The single-track rail line running under the viaduct, and exiting the photo at upper left, is the Tide Subdivision of the Western Maryland Railway. (Later renamed the Hanover Subdivision of CSX.)
  • The rail yard in the upper right is the B&O Mount Clare "A" Yard.
