The Kentucky, Ohio, and Allegheny (1851–60)

After his success at Niagara, John tried to secure further railroad suspension bridge contracts, yet his only success proved to be an absolute albatross. In 1853, he received a contract to build a railroad suspension bridge over the Kentucky River, but he got no further than building the bridge’s towers. The project lingered on for many years, with hope but no money. A similar situation prevailed in Cincinnati. The necessary funding and legislation were secured by 1856, and John was summoned. The project was shut down two years later after the panic of 1857 left the bridge company’s coffers empty. John finally abandoned his two unfinished towers in 1861, there to stand as lonely witnesses to the presence of a coming war. Better news and better financing came to John out of Pittsburgh, where the St. Clair Street Bridge needed replacing. John was offered the contract, and he completed the bridge on time and under budget in 1860.
