class capsule in time…well done!!
This was a rail line until only 1906 when the current PRR (now Amtrak) bridge was completed. This bridge was made into a highway bridge (later double-decked) until the Hatem Rt 40 bridge was built in the 1940s and then scrapped for the war effort.
where was this located? too bad it is not still around!
