WBCRR = Wilkes-Barre Connecting Railroad
The is railroad also cross the Susquehanna River on the other end of town with the
Black Diamond Bridge. But the
building in the background in this photo makes me confidant that this is the Gauntlet Bridge.

Wilkes-Barre Connecting RR bridge A shot of The Gauntlet bridge, connecting Kingston and Wilkes-Barre, PA. Milepost 688 on CP's Sunbury Sub. The old Laurel Line bridge over Mill Creek can be seen as well, on the riverbank to the right of the bridge. March 30, 2013. |

It has a long approach viaduct on the west side.
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.
This is a view of the east side of that concrete structure.

| ViewOfTheBlue, 1 of several photos of the bridge. This webpage also has a history of the Wilkes-Barre Connecting Railroad. The WBCRR was a joint effort by D&H and Pennsy, which was incorporated in 1912. "The entire line of 6.641 miles was completed and placed in operation on March 29, 1915." |
I could not find the location of this bridge, but the photo shows how high the river got during the Hurricane Agnes Flood.

I don't think this photo is of this bridge. The piers are different and the truss is not on one side of the piers. The truss is line is very similar. Fortunately, I seldom encounter errors on Bridge Hunter.
