Talk:Upper Bay Bridge

Coordinate error
The coordinates need the following fixes: I picked this up from the Newark Bay Bridge which runs parallel to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Bridge. Is it sufficient or need it be tweaked?

I occasionally worked on that bridge as a block operator, giving trains signals, and raising and lowering it, from 1957 until 1982. It was operated by the PRR and successor PC, and I presumed that it was owned by them. When we got marine radios I wondered why boats called it the Lehigh Valley bridge. The Valley used it to get from Oak Island yard to Jersey City, but it was part of the Pennsy's Greenville Branch, dispatched by the Pennsy, and electrified. I heard that when they were installing the lift span, they dropped it in the bay, warping it; and that's why when seating it you have to push it down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1002:B000:43CB:223:12FF:FE29:BF6A (talk) 00:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
