Chuck, EL Employee Time Table #4 covering the Scranton, Susquehanna, Buffalo Terminal, Mahoning, and Marion Divisions has references to Bridge 60. Here is one such example located in the speed restrictions on the Scranton Division, Bloomsburg Branch. "Maximum Permissible Speed Except as Otherwise Restricted All Trains............35 Except between: Bridge 60 - Scranton Station ....... 10 Taylor and Kingston ......." I have not looked at the handful of other DLW/EL time tables that I have but based on this I would say it was referred to as such.
