It's a possibility. The historical society for Pukaski is looking into it. Should hear back next Tuesday or so. Th 1895 (and other years) topo map clearly shows a road bridge slightly west of the island while the 1955 aerial shows just the pier and no bridges over the river at this point. Eventuall...

On Historic Aerials it appears to be an old road bridge that was replaced with one that is in the same position as the current bridge.

Pretty comprehensive but there are missing lines like the LV's Irvington Branch and the PRR's two Newark branches; the one to 18th Ave and the original bridge over the Passaic to Newark Penn. The Erie's Seaboard station is missing which was just north of the Whitpenn. Two branches off the RV; one to...

If you follow the old military spur that goes into the base on google maps, it does not go very far into the base before it ends in a buffer stop. It had a different alignment than now and entered the base south and north of Landsdowne. There is still a noticeable amount of rails/ROW to this day in...

A photo and some videos crossing from Ukraine to Poland on a recent trip with truck changes, the equipment used and traversing the yard:

Guessing he is referring to a road bridge over the ROW that has been removed and replaced with fill. IIRC, there is one on the PA side just past the Delaware River viaduct. Correct, the Cut Off ran underneath Slateford Road just before Slateford Junction. Now it is just earthen fill, but this would...

Just prior to WWI the DL&W had the best balance sheet of any railroad in the United States. It had the lowest debt to equity ratio and built both the NJ Cutoff and the improvements north of Scranton without borrowing any money. The DL&W was about to embark on a costly grade separation progr...

Oxford Mine RR is missing, split off the LHR main near the triple crossing.

The chemical company at the end of the branch near where the bridge was located is gone, it's now multi-family housing.

Hard to say about a 1920's DL&W NKP merger. The Transportation Act of 1920 required the ICC to look into consolidations of railroads. The report didn't come out until something like 1929 but when it did, both the NKP and DL&W fell under the C&O umbrella. In fact NKP would actually fall ...

The DL&W missed its chance in the 1920's when the NKP was more receptive. It may have survived further into the CR era if this had manifested and would have potentially alleviated a merger with the Erie.

That was the DL&W 'Old Road', the former mainline prior to the Cutoff being built in 1912. It had two tight tunnels, one with a gauntlet track. The last revenue freight was in 1970.
