Re: (erielack) Gladstone Branch (NJ) bridge?

The activity you saw is the preliminary work for replacement of the famed 
Hogback Bridge. Much groundwork has to be done before the new span is put 
into place. NJ Transit announced its plan to replace the current structure 
late last year. Sevral newspapers carried the story. The actual removal of 
the old bridge and placement of the new span will be doen over a week end 
starting early on a Friday evening after the last rush hour trains terminate 
and will go around the clock to be ready for the Monday morning rush. No 
exact date has been announced as yet.

NJT is looking to prserve the old bridge and has offered free of charge to 
anyone who can cart it away.
