Re: (erielack) Some Heritage views from yesterday Weight Restrictions

[Dlw1el2_@_aol.com]

They operated 50 and 20 years ago.  Since then NJT has done  studies on all 
their bridges, and 1074 is roughly 27 and 40 tons heavier than  either of 
the units mentioned.  Hence a 10 MPH speed restriction  on one bridge, just 
to get to Boonton.

When I  heard that 1074 was restricted east of Boonton, I assumed it was
because of  the Rockaway River bridge in Boonton.  They originally wanted to
run  to Mountain View - correct?  I wonder what happened to the bridge.   It
supported the Trainmasters and the U34's.
