Walter - in October, 2011 you asked essentially the same question.   Here is thereply I made then.  If I'm not mistaken I subsequently sent you (directly) thereferenced drawing.  If you need it again please let me know.  It's a .tifformat which does not display on the Erielack list photopage.

Here is a request to all to consider using the awesome list archivefunctionality found at:

Walter,

The Shin Hollow bridge (OH bridge 81.52) has a very interesting pedigree.

The two main girders spanning the track (formerly spanning 3 tracks) are from aTurntable - but not from Port Jervis.  The turntable in question was located atLittle Falls, NJ on the NY&GL.  The turntable was built in 1886 by the PencoydBridge & Construction Company and was removed in 1917 and brought to Port Jervisfor storage. In 1923 it was made part of bridge 81.52.

The approach spans use 4 girders salvaged from Bridge No 16.93 on the NewburghBranch.

The four columns supporting this bridge are reused from Bridge 192.22 on theDelaware Division.

This information is from a 1922 Erie RR drawing which I can get you anelectronic copy of if you want. Unfortunately it is not in a format that can beshared with the list photo page.
