I found some images of the bridge on the E-L mailing list. Great stuff!

Here is the Erie mainline going through the center of Passaic. My Great Grandmother told of railroad tracks going through the center of Passaic, but all I ever knew was a parking area down the middle (decorated with boxes on their pointy end as I recall when young, they may have been removed).

All these photos above in this post are posted by Christopher Vitz, and I believe they were done by Henry Vitz.

Apparently there were some pretty sharp turns after the bridge to get into Passaic, this looks like one of them:

All of those were from "Dom".
Good stuff over on the railfan E-L list.
