I just took a whole bunch of photos for this bridge as part of an upcoming project im working on for abandoned and less used railways in the Bergen/Passaic/Hudson/Essex area and would appreciate any kinds of information, large or small about this bridge.
It looks like it was built to be ready for a second track. I guess the erie thought ahead incase the Newark Branch became really busy. Ill post pictures soon.
Thanks for any kind of information you can give me. If i use any of it on a website im going to design, you will be credited!
EDIT 4/19
Heres the images I wanted to post...
1. Looks like the Erie was ready for a future second track?
2. It's a preety rare sight in this area to see a bridge like this over mostly dry ground.
3. Not exactly Moodna, but it's a nice one...
4. Rusty frame work, but it still looks sturdy. I would love to watch something roll over it.
5. Pretty good condition for a lesser used rail line. But I guess location goes with condition. Nutley isn't so bad.
6. Just more shots of the supports and the small streams that pass uder it.
7. Just a closer shot of the frame work on top of one of the supports.
8. More showing how it looks like the Erie was thinking ahead.
9. If only a NS GP-38 with a few tanks rolled by while I was taking this shot...
Thanks for looking and for any information you could provide.
