NS/Philadelphia & Reading 1924, 51-arch Bridge in Harrisburg, PA

NS/Philadelphia & Reading: (Bridge Hunter, Historic Bridges3D Satellite, Street View)

I found the P&R bridge while looking for a satellite image of the Cumberland Valley Bridge.

Its 51 arches are three more than the Rockville Bridge. In the satellite image and in some of the photos I noticed pier ruins west of the bridge on the south side. I presume they are left over from a previous bridge.
