Notes
  • Significance: This bridge has different structure types on each of its two spans, a result of its having been pieced together from two different bridges. This is an excellent example of how railroads demoted main-line structures to branch line service as train loads increased.
  • Survey number: HAER PA-544
  • Building/structure dates: 1896 Initial Construction
  • Building/structure dates: 1908 Subsequent Work
