Title: Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway, Bridge No. 6, Spanning Calumet River, east of Chicago Skyway (I-90), Chicago, Cook County, IL Other Title: New York Central Railroad, Calumet River Bridge Creator(s): Historic American Engineering Record, creator Related Names: Waddell, J A, L Harrington, John L Dravo Contracting Company DeLony, Eric N , project manager Chicago Department of Transportation , sponsor Daley, Richard M , sponsor Walker, Thomas R , sponsor Kaderbek, S L , sponsor Sears, Hannah , transmitter Date Created/Published: Documentation compiled after 1968 Data Page(s): 3 Photo Caption Page(s): 1 Notes: See also HAER IL-156 for additional documentation. Significance: The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway's two parallel vertical-lift spans over the Calumet River, and two neighboring spans built by the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway (of which one survives), are the largest multiple installation of Waddell and Harrington's patented design. Differences between the two pairs of bridges demonstrate disparity among American railroads' building codes, as well as Waddell and Harrington's refinement of the vertical-lift form. This site's many bridges built in close proximity is an artifact of intense competition among trunk lines entering Chicago from the east, and perhaps the greatest physical monument to the railroad capital of North America.
