Norfolk Southern Tennessee River Bridge (Decatur)
- Norfolk Southern Tennessee River Bridge (Decatur)
The Norfolk Southern Railway operates a lift bridge over the Tennessee River at Decatur in the north central Alabama in the United States. While it is owned and operated by Norfolk Southern, the majority of the railroad traffic over the bridge is from another company, CSX Transportation.
There has been a railroad bridge or ferry at this location since the late 1850s. The bridge is on the Norfolk Southern mainline between Sheffield, Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee and the CSX mainline between Birmingham, Alabama and Nashville, Tennessee.
This bridge also serves as a vital link between North Alabama and Greater Birmingham/Central Alabama. The Port of Decatur, which serves as an intramodal terminal for many industries in the region, benefits from the bridges important location inside Decatur.
