The predecessor bridge was a swing bridge built by Lehigh Valley in 1913.
It's always good to catch a train on a bridge because that means the route is still used.

| Jonathan Konopka posted This is the Upper Bay Bridge, which connects Newark, NJ and Bayonne, NJ. It is a vertical lift bridge that was built in 1930 and carries the CSX National Docks Branch over the Newark Bay. James Kenney: AKA Lehigh Valley bridge. |

| William Billson posted Today [May 1, 2024] at 3pm Conrail Terminal Dispatcher assuming control of Upper Bay interlocking and Garden switches. The operators are staying at the bridge, but will be bridge tenders. Ken Jamin: If the signals governing movement over the bridge clear automatically when the bridge is down and locked, the bridge centers are not under the HOS and can work indefinitely. However if the bridge tender has to line the signal manually, they are under DS HOS. (Nine hours in 24). [I decided that HOS means Hours of Service.] William Billson: Ken Jamin dispatcher handling signals and unlocks bridge for operator. |
This bridge would be the one marked on this diagram. Greenville Yard is little east of here.

| Johnny Martin posted Handrawn map of Conrail North Jersey Terminal yards, trackage and connectors showing how Big Blue got the trains through this quagmire after sorting everything out. I got this map from the former operator of HUDSON Tower. [The big yard is Oak Island. It stills has some tracks, but much of it is now intermodal, auto terminal and airport stuff.] |
I got this map because I could not figure out where Garden Yard was. It appears that Newark Airport is built on landfill. The bridge at the south end of Newark Bay no longer exists.
