TR 937
over Cayuta Creek
This 165’ long, former railroad bridge is one span.
Fabricated
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad circa 1892, it is a pin connected Pratt thru truss bridge and is
supported on one stone abutment and one concrete abutment.
The heavy, deep trusses are characteristic of railroad
construction with built up Z sections for the verticals and eye bar
packs for the lower chords. At
the midpoints of the compression verticals, sub-struts add stiffness
to the columns. Suspended
from the lower panel point pins, the floorbeams support two lines of
riveted stringers that supported the original track lines. This
bridge has been determined eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places.
