To view a list of historic engineering projects compiled by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) you can go to this page on Wikipedia.
Included is the Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge (pictured). Built in 1852, it was the "first successful all-metal bridge design to be adopted and consistently used on a railroad" (Jackson, Donald C. (1988) Great American bridges and dams. Wiley)
