Notes
  • Significance: The Greenville Yard Transfer Bridge System is the last surviving example in New York Harbor of a suspended-type car float transfer bridge. The innovative design of the transfer bridge was introduced by PRR engineers in 1888, and proved superior to other types in ease and speed of operation. The design was perfected and electrified with the building of the Greenville facility in 1905, and became the standard adopted by many other railroads.
