The roadway arch documented in photos B0577 and B0578 is the one which carries the line over present day Center Street in Landing-Port Morris. I got to travel through this every school day for four years in the 1960's,
always hoping to catch a train moving overhead (and sometimes being rewarded). I believe B0577 is taken from the north side of the cutoff looking west while B0578 is taken from the south side looking north.

Attached is a scan of an article which was printed in the 9/1913 edition of Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way about some of the technical aspects of this specific structure.
