The oldest in the US I believe is the Carolton Viaduct just west of Baltimore on the B&O. Still used by CSX and MARC trains on the Washington Branch.
 
I was viewing a tv programme available in the UK, entitled "The architecture the railways built". Interesting item about an early rail bridge.

You folks certainly have more than your fair share! I tend to differentiate between actual bridges and viaducts serving as bridges. I do recall a particularly memorable Brunel bridge in the south of England and there are so many classic viaducts that still support railways. Thanks for posting the link.
