Viewing Album:  Bridgeport Pa; End of the line for the last industrial track in Bridgeport!
 
By:Joe Benedict
Dates:5/22/2011 - 5/22/2011
Album Info:Works crews started the salvage operations on Friday, May 20th on the last industrial track in Bridgeport. During better times, this track once connected the Harrisburg main with the Trenton cutoff main before it was severed sometime during the 80's. It has been a couple of years since the last time this track was used servicing a warehouse on the end of the line. By the time of these photos today, most of the lower half of the line was already pulled up.
