Three more photos of the Erie's bridge over the Passaic River in Passaic are
attached. All taken by Henry Vitz in February of 1963.

The first shows a fairly close view of the rotating portion of the bridge.
Note the pulley on the east side of the head house, perhaps this was used to
hoist up coal or whatever other fuel that may have been used to power the
bridge.

The second shows a passenger train crossing the bridge powered by two RS-3s.

The third shows the same train a little further across the bridge. It seems
it only had two coaches, was this a typical movement? I would have thought
the train lengths would have been much longer. I am not sure if the photos
were taken in the middle of the day or a weekend.
