If I am not mistaken the locomotive is a reading and northern locomotive.
Art,like I said,even though I am from Quakertown I am familiar with the area.I don't remember if I've been near or by this bridge.I might have and not realized it.As for the peevy road bridge I will try to get in the area when I can.
George,
I think this is the bridge where Lehigh and Lafayette Universitie's crews used to row. I think I've been on the bridge many years ago.
By the way, as you grew up in Quackertown, if you ever get back there, could you shoot some pictures of the Peevy Road Bridge: http://bridgehunter.com/pa/montgomery/467046040002310/

Being from the area and also growing up in quakertown i noticed differences in the pictures.In a couple of the pictures i noticed a truss bridge.This bridge is hooked up to the lehigh river bridge.I didn't know if anyone noticed that.Just thought i would mention that.

I believe this is the structure? Gives a number of dates and builders.
This is a pin connected railroad truss bridge. Pin connected railroad truss bridges were not built in 1930. So what's the story?
does anyone know the current status of this abandoned r.r. bridge?please let me know.thanks.
What year exactly was this bridge abandoned?
