According to the NY Times they operations continued until 1976. The marshalling yards at Perth Amboy on the Arthur KIll have subsequently become a "town home" complex known as Harbortown.

Estimated to cost $67 million in 2005, funding's been sporadic. In 2006, was announced that $38 million had been allocated for the project. Approval for construction was given in 2007 and ground was broken in October 2008. NJDOT allocated multi-year funding for the project in its Capital Program: $1...

Re: CNJ Passaic River Swing Bridge

In October 1970, 17 freight cars and 5 engines were intentionally plunged into the Passaic from the bridge, which was normally left open at night. The act of sabotage was carried out by someone who knew what they were doing and had access to the CNJ yard nearby. Oak Island was LV yard, I believe, Wa...

The Raritan draw span is 331 feet (NY Times) and that of the PD draw (if that's the name, which was the question which started this thread), is 212 ft (Popular Mech), so unless another pier was added (doubtful) can't see how it could it be a replacement. Seems the Raritan has taken its share of bump...

Seems highly unlikely that the swing would have been floated downstream to Raritan Bay; can't find a mention of it anywhere. Both PRR lines, one known as Passaic and Harsimus (or Harsimus Branch) and the other that has become the National Docks Secondary (Greenville Secondary) are in operation (CSX)...

While an article at wikipdia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PD_Draw -covers the story of the New Jersey Central's bridge Newark/NY Branch (between Communipaw and Broad Street) over the Passaic pretty well, there's a question. Some sources call the tower on the bridge PD (maybe passaic draw), others c...
