This bold seven panel structure is easily seen from the NY-415 Bridge. Designed to accommodate two sets of track, although it currently holds only one set, this structure features very massive members. It is noteworthy for having the less common Baltimore truss configuration. Attractive v-lacing and lattice can be found on select parts of the truss, adding to the complexity and beauty of the historic structure. The bridge also features a skew.
