JPBX - East Poplar Ave Overpass
Description
The East Poplar Avenue Bridge (35C0091) is a simple riveted-steel through-plate girder structure with rolled-steel beam side spans over sidewalks with steel bents and reinforced concrete abutments. The bridge is one of four similar railroad bridges located along three-tenths of a mile of track over four parallel streets in the City of San Mateo (from north to south): East Poplar, Santa Inez, Monte Diablo, and Tilton Avenues. A dry-laid random-ashlar masonry retaining wall runs along the east side of the tracks. The retaining wall stands approximately 7' tall at Monte Diablo Avenue and gradually decreases to approximately 3' tall near the Tilton Avenue underpass.Facts

This bridge no longer exists and has since been rebuilt due to the Caltrain electrification program. The new bridge is also taller.
