This was my favorite job on Metro Region and Metro North. There were two GMC diesels to run the bridge up and down. When I was the operator there, we did not need a bridge gang to get it open, Age has caught up with these bridges.
Yeah, I saw it too. He must have been relieved that the bridge worked on more time. He was most likely fearful that his boss would fire him if they messed up the project.
Nice video John, good camera work, coherent editing etc. The FOV was spot on... I subscribed for future updates... If you have a sec. give my channel a look, several train vids... My video "NORFOLK TUG EXPRESS" features a rail "lift" bridge opening and my first catch of a SD90mac, also with the Philly skyline in the background... Thanks much, Moses...
Cool video. Nice to be able to see what is involved and so close.

Nice! Never seen this bridge open!!
"Got another hammer...?"
Norwalk river railroad bridge please
It’s the Saugatuck River in Westport not the Norwalk River
Walk bridge please
All these bridges need to be replaced with high level fixed bridges.
That would be incredibly expensive
@@apr859 or at least replace them with more reliable and faster lift bridges.
And then the Cos Cob bridge just has the trains coast through a gap with no power.
Hung out at lunch many a day under the I-95 bridge in the background, burning one and maybe some fishing.
the bridge doesn't open very often?
Got another hammer....?
