Wayne Wood posted two photos with the comment: "Built in 1905, the Hojack Swing Bridge was located in middle of the Genesee River in the Charlotte (pronounced shar-LOTTE) area of Rochester, NY. It carried the New York Central RR across the river, yet remained in the open position to allow for boat traffic (Rochesterians LOOOVE their boats). It was decommissioned after the rail traffic on it ceased and, sadly, was dismantled in 2013"
