View of the remains of the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad Bridge after its destruction by the Confederate Army following the evacuation of Richmond. The brick piers that once supported the bridge span stand in the water across the James River and debris covers the ground around them. The remains of a brick wall with arched windows sits in the foreground on the right, next to the wooden skeleton of the lower passageway of the bridge.
