The Alton Bridge was a railroad bridge that carried the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy (later Burlington Northern) across the Mississippi River between West Alton, Missouri, and Alton, Illinois. It was located 100 yards (91 m) upriver from, and parallel to, the Old Clark Bridge. The bridge was built between 1892 and 1894 and was removed shortly after the line was abandoned in 1988. With a total length of 2,060 feet (630 m), it consisted of eight through-truss segments—six Pratt trusses, one Pennsylvania truss, and one pivot-swinging truss.

Beide Eisenbahngesellschaften wurden später Teil der CB&Q, die wiederum 1970 in der Burlington Northern Railroad aufging. Nach der Eisenbahnbrücke querte mit der ersten Clark Bridge ab 1928 eine weitere Brücke den Fluss bei Alton. Zusätzlich errichtete das United States Army Corps of Engineers bis 1938 das erste Mississippi Lock and Dam Number 26 in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft. Die Burlington Northern gab die später nur noch eingleisig genutzte Eisenbahnbrücke 1988 auf und im Zuge der stromabwärts erfolgten Errichtung der Melvin Price Locks and Dam wurden die Brücken einschließlich der alten Staustufe später zurückgebaut; der U.S. Highway 67 verläuft bei Alton seit 1994 über die neue Clark Bridge.
