The official name is ``Tatsusobe River Bridge'', and during the Iwate Light Railway era, it was a steel plate girder bridge, but in 1944, the Japanese National Railways wrapped it around the abutments, piers, and steel plate girder bridge, and built it into reinforced concrete. . The Iwate Light Railway is said to have been the inspiration for Kenji Miyazawa's fairy tale ``Night on the Galaxy Railway.''
