I love draw bridges, Alan & Mike, Thank you for sharing your trip to the Uper Eastern Seaboard!

Was not expecting an inside shot, very suprising enjoyed it

That was cool 😎 👌 👍

I live a couple of stations up that line, im glad u decided to visit it while on vacation

NOW THATS COOL!! yes since watching the Ortega And Acosta Rail Bridges..This New Jersey visit has lots to offer you! Happy Holidays coming.

Great video!!!

Thanks.

nice job

Yes

Nice!

now that awesome

Been thrown off a train at that station back in a snow storm at midnight when I was a teenager back in the late 70's and had to walk to Friendly Ice Cream on hwy 34 in Matawan to get a ride home.

@0:28, like how that siren sounds like an older cop car when bridge starts making its way down

Trains right next to boats. I am in paradise

I filmed on the pier first then I took a train ride over it and edited it all together. So the trains are different

Been under that bridge many times

Awesome Video Alan! A few questions: 1. Is there a speed restriction for trains crossing this bridge? 2. When a train aproches the bridge, does it have to stop and wait for the bridge to lower or does the bridge close way before the train arrives? 3. What bridge is that seen at 2:49 down the river?

that one strong bridge

How did you get footage on the train?

Good video, I read in a magazine NJ Transit is planning to replace the current bascule bridge soon (unknown range of when they'll begin work) with a newer double track bridge with 2 tracks to enable 2 trains to simultaneously cross the bridge in which 1 train doesn't have to pause for the other train. Plus, the current bridge is old and it needs replaced before it develops problems such as the mechanism getting stuck open or closed.

They also need to send the electric line down another 17 miles to complete the electrification on the North Jersey Coastline

I'm almost positive there is a speed limit however I don't know what it is. Trains usually don't have to stop and wait for the bridge as there is a station about a half mile away on either side however being a single track draw bridge you can occasionally see one train waiting for another to pass. And at 2;49 that is the Manasquan River Bridge On Route 70.

Conducter49 , That's the Route 35 bridge,. Route 70 bridge is after / past the canal.

It is over 100 years old

Where do you live?? I used to live in Point Pleasant Beach on Grove St

Were you on that train that time or some one else was to record it for you?

40 MPH North 10 MPH South Bridge lowers when train is 5 miles away Highway 35

I first filmed on the train then I went to the drawbridge to film 2 other trains. Then I took the video home and edited it together

That's my home town Alan

To warn incoming boat traffic that its lowering.

It is used as a warning device saying that the bridge is opening or closing.

Yes, it is called a draw cabin and the operator is the draw captain to vessels and block operator to the trains. I worked there off and on during the mid 1970's to NJT came in.
