"Dreibogige Eisenbahnbrücke westlich des Vilbeler Ortskerns, in den Jahren 1845-1850 erbaut. Es ist eines der selten gewordenen Bauwerke aus der Entstehungszeit der Frankfurt mit Kassel verbindenen Main-Weser-Bahn. Während der 1. Hälfte der 1980er Jahre erfolgte eine in Stahlbeton ausgeführte Verbreiterung des Gleiskörpers. Dabei ging die ursprüngliche, von Kreuzblumen durchbrochene Brückenbrüstung verloren. Die Qualität der in Sandstein ausgeführten historischen Bogenkonstruktion blieb aber unberührt."
