It sounds simplistic and, perhaps, flip but Bridge 60 is between Bridge 59 and Bridge 61.  We have been told where Bridge 61 is -- it's the next one east.  So where is Bridge 59?  I would suspect it's the next one west on one line or another.

Perhaps the old Bridge numbering ended at Stroudsburg and New Jersey lines had their old numbering from Hoboken.
