1911-2022 MBTA/B&M SUC Bridge over Annisquam River in Gloucester, MA

If you are here because of "W&S/C&NW Bridge 334 over Lake Wisconsin & River," then you need to go there.


SUC = Strauss Underneath Counterweight

This appears to be a trunnion bridge.

from You Tube credit to Boston by Rail this is a new MBTA Railroad Bascule Bridge built in May of 2022 replacing a old 1911 Strauss Underneath Counterweight Bascule Bridge located in Gloucester, MA crossing the Annisquam River.

The Street Views are old enough to show the SUC bridge
