Hello,

Does anyone have any photos of the 1901 DL&W swing bridge that use to exist over the upper Hackensack River? The reason why I raise this question is because I am in need of photos and ideally the basic dimensions of the bridge for a modeling project. I know that in 1958 the DL&W replaced the bridge with a single span bridge that is currently in use by NJ Transit.

Thank you in advance of your help.

Sincerely,
Walter Conklin
