Delta Trestle Bridge, Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad is a historic wooden trestle railroad bridge in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1875, and measures about 393-foot-long (120 m) overall. It was built by the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad to connect two rises of land divided by a ravine. It is one of only two trestle bridges to remain from the original railroad, the other being the Taylor trestle, in York Township, PA, between Red Lion, PA and Dallastown, PA.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
