Conrail Point-No-Point Project is 60% complete with both sides of the Bascule span completed with 1 major bridge to be completed over PATH. The original swing bridge was built between 1889 -1901 by New York Bay Railroad and was operated by steam power from coal. The structure features five deck-plate girder approach spans and one camelback Howe through-truss swing span on a center bearing. The NYBRR was conceived and constructed as part of the PRR’s wider terminal improvements program in conjunction with the company’s entry into the Port of New York, the nation’s undisputed commercial hub at the turn of the twentieth century.

The project is being replaced by a bascule span on a new alignment in a very congestion area between NJTA, PATH and CSX Intermodal yard on a limited ROW.

Over 20 freight trains used this corridor critical to the Newark Ports. This is the largest under taken by Conrail Shared Assets.
