The 591' (180m) long bridge has a main span of 132.6' (40.4m).
"This bridge is a great example of how railroads would alter bridges (both long ago and more recently) to accommodate increasing loads and increased deterioration. First, the original 1894 bridge was altered in 1907. This is discussed in the HAER documentation. More recently additional alterations and repairs have been made, and are easy to spot on the bridge as they have a brighter orange rust color in the photos."

Dave Schnitzler shared three photos with the comment: "If folks out there have any photos of the EL in and around the Masthope/Lackawaxen, PA environs it would be greatly appreciated if you could post a few.  My recollection is that many of the trains going by the cabin in Masthope were toting piggyback trailers on flatcars.  Here are a few recent pix of the bridge crossing the Lackawaxen river just adjacent to the Delaware."
