History Edit
The Market Street Bridge was built in 1938 by on-site contractor Clyde Thomson of Bethlehem Steel of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The steel for the structure was produced by the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Des Moines, Iowa. The bridge was rehabilitated in 1994.[1]
This bridge is used strictly for railway/freight train/locomotive traffic. "No Trespassing" signs on either side indicate that it is not to be used by either vehicular or pedestrian traffic. It is owned, operated, and maintained by R.J. Coreman Railways.
