It carries Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and MARC's Penn Line passenger rail traffic. It was the site of the famous "Crescent Limited wreck" in August 1933, caused when the bridge was damaged by the 1933 Chesapeake–Potomac hurricane. ==Construction== On February 26, 1903, the Commissioners of the District of Columbia gave their approval for the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad (B&P, then controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad ()) to build a more direct line from Baltimore to the District of Columbia.〔"In Favor of New Railroad," ''The Washington Post,'' February 27, 1903.〕 The new route would be called the Magruder Branch (because it crossed the Magruder Branch, a stream which is a tributary of the Anacostia River). It would largely replace the local section of the Washington City Branch, which crossed the Anacostia to the south. The Magruder Branch would connect the new Union Station with the PRR Magruder Station in Landover, Maryland (a major hub for the railroad). Construction of the Magruder Branch line, however, required that a new bridge be built across the river (then also known as the "Eastern Branch"), and the Commissioners gave their approval for this bridge as well.〔 The United States Army Corps of Engineers, which at the time had control over all rivers and bridges in the District of Columbia, approved the new bridge in September 1903.〔"New Bridge for 'The Branch'," ''The Washington Post,'' September 13, 1903.〕 Construction began in 1904.〔 A deep bed of gravel was laid down, and concrete piers placed on top of it.〔 By the end of January 1905, the bridge was nearly finished, with the foundation and entire substructure complete.〔"Spending Millions on Union Railways Terminals," ''The Washington Post,'' January 29, 1905.〕 As of April 1906, one of the two tracks across the bridge had been laid.〔"Washington's New Station," ''The New York Times,'' April 8, 1906.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amtrak Railroad Anacostia Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
