Notes:
- Coordinates are for one of the remaining piers of the rail tracks that sat on top of the suspension bridge. This highly unusual hybrid structure had a rail bridge supported by the suspension bridge towers and a suspension bridge mid-span tower. From a distance, it had the appearance of a deck suspended from a rail bridge, but this was not the case.
- See 1854 Sarp (Sarpsbro, Sarpsbrua) - Sarpsborg, Viken, Norway. Another interesting hybrid rail and suspension bridge.
