In 1849 the Wheeling Bridge was completed. The bridge was brought down by heavy winds in 1854.
In 1852, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad completed a line from Baltimore to Wheeling to become the longest railroad in the world at that time. A new steel truss bridge carrying the B & O line across the Shenandoah River was built in 1894.
