Re: (erielack) Erie Shin Hollow bridge

From the photos I've seen it's constructed of iron or steel, and has a  
wooden deck.

Subject:  (erielack) Erie Shin Hollow bridge



Hello,



My  friend is working on a model of the Shin Hollow bridge. Does anyone 
recall if  the Shin Hollow bridge was of timber construction, steel plate 
girder  etc?  Morever, if anyone has an image of the bridge and would be willing  
to send it to me, that could be helpful to my friend.



Thank you  for your time and help.



Sincerely,



Walter  Conklin

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

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

(October  21, 2011).
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 a Turntable - but not from Port  Jervis.  The turntable in question was 
located at Little Falls, NJ on the  NY&GL.  The turntable was built in 1886 
by the Pencoyd Bridge &  Construction Company and was removed in 1917 and 
brought to Port Jervis for  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 
Newburgh Branch.

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

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