I drive across this bridge all the time. One of those narrow no mistakes allowed 2-lane bridges.

The D&RGW bridge must have been in bad shape. One end of a coal car fell thru it and sat
there for a few days shortly before the old bridge was replaced. Just a few years ago, there
were 16 daily trains of coal.
