Notes
  • Significance: Because Pennsylvania has few low-lying areas, the bridge is one of a limited number of moveable railroad structures in this state. This bridge is remarkably low, about a foot above water at high tide and also unusual as a shared asset between pairs of competing lines throughout much of its history.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N605
  • Survey number: HAER PA-525
  • Building/structure dates: 1906-1907 Initial Construction
