WBCRR = Wilkes-Barre Connecting Railroad
I could not find the location of this bridge, but the photo shows how high the river got during the Hurricane Agnes Flood.

Note the concrete structure to the right of the middle of this photo. One set of tracks ended there. A comment on this photo speculates that a coal unloading trestle used to be here.
