Yes Gribbler, it is...

First major steel cantilever (still 2nd longest in the world!) railway bridge in the world and first railway bridge with a steel superstructure. Also was the world’s longest spanning bridge at the time of its construction. Way more impressive looking than the GGB!

So, in the space of 47 years, the Golden Gate bridge could only manage a measly extra 685ft!?
