By the way, the two pontoon bridges that were installed in 1969 on the DL&W
side in Jersey City came from the CNJ. They replaced the Erie electric
bridges when the Erie yard was converted into a facility for unloading
International trucks for export.

IThanks for the interesting side note! Were they excess in that the CNJ
still had two others? I assume they were dismantled and floated up to the
Lackawanna yard?
Was moving these from the CNJ was easier ( certainly not cheaper ) than
moving the ex Erie bridges? I would think that an electric bridge would be an
improvement over a pontoon bridge, but I guess there are a lot of other things
that come into play there. Don't hesitate to share your knowledge with us.
Thanks in advance. :)
