History and architectural features

Built for the Northern Central Railroad in 1870, this 190-foot-long bridge was disassembled and reassembled on the Stewartstown Railroad in 1885. A girder structure was added in 1920, and the original bridge structure was removed, although the original 1870 trusses are still in place. The bridge is still in active use, and services the Stewartstown Railroad passenger excursions. ^[2]
