Library of Congress - Bridge 60

Index information on the photos on this page.
Steamtown is the the right of this photo. The Lackawanna river is to the left.
This road now leads to Steamtown, the parking lot being up the road behind the photographer. The prior photo was taken just over the hedge.
Shot from about 50 feet closer to the bridge.
Underneath the span that covers the river and the old Central of New Jersey line which ran on the west bank.
A sorry looking top to the bridge.
All of these photos are before the mall was built. Much of the left of this photo would now be filled with that which now takes up most of the area of the City Yard.
Transformer equipment on the bridge
Signal on the bridge
A classic example of decay in railroad yards throughout the country in the 1980s.

 

Engineering drawing of Bridge 60. I used this as the basic for figuring out how I would model this bridge and what parts I would omit because its full scale size for the 422' would be over 2' long.
