The Kusti Railway Bridge (also known as railway bridge Goz Abu -Goma ) is a steel rotary girder bridge for rail traffic in Sudan on the White Nile.

The bridge is located in the east of the city Kusti or south of the city Rabak, about 900 m below the 1983 -built Prestressed Concrete road bridge. It is a part of the railway Khartoum, Nyala (or the railway Khartoum -El Obeid ), which is hardly or no longer been used since the Civil War in South Sudan beyond Rabak apparently.

The bridge has a railroad track with Cape gauge and the a walkway on both sides. She is a total of 459 meters long and consists of eight 48 m long trusses, the ends of which lie on a round pair of pillars, and the actual, 75 m long swing bridge, which is rotatably mounted on a central pillar.

It was built from 1909 to 1910 by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Co. on behalf of the British colonial administration of the Anglo -Egyptian Sudan.
