****Information****

This Railworks asset pack contains a replica of The Arthur Kill Lift Bridge.

The Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Railroad Bridge is a railroad-only, vertical lift bridge connecting Elizabethport, New Jersey and the Howland Hook Marine Terminal on Staten Island.

The bridge was built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1959 to replace an older swing span.[1] It is a single track bridge, used mainly to carry garbage out of New York, diverting traffic off of the parallel Goethals Bridge, which is a section of Interstate 278.

It has the distinction of being the largest vertical lift bridge in the world, with two towers of 215 feet each, and a truss span of 135 feet in height and 558 feet in length. ___________________________________________________________________
