Notes
  • Significance: The bridge between Bridgeport and Norristown is perhaps the longest bridge on an American interurban railroad. This single-track structure, on a curving alignment, combines trestle approaches with deck truss spans over the Schuylkill River. Completed in 1912 for P.W.'s Norristown branch, the bridge has seen continuous service since. It now carries SEPTA Route 100 trains between Philadelphia's 69th Street Terminal and Norristown.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N618
