RE: (erielack) West Boonton Yard... then and now

I suppose the relatively unusual feature of the bridge is the tapered deck.

Center-pivot bridges are a fairly common design. The DL&W had one of a
similar design further upriver at Lyndhurst, though its bridge portion
wasn't tapered. And let's not forget DB Draw, also center pivot but with
a through-truss bridge design. They were used where a wide passageway
wasn't necessary.
