The rails lift up before the swing bridge moves. I've never seen this actions before.
The bridge is a about 7:15 minutes into this film of the 3rd Ave El.

Fascinating! I didn't know that either. Thanks.

And thanks for another web site to spend some time enjoying videos! Gotta bookmark that site!

Very interesting site. My parents and I rode the El frequently during the late 1940's. Also interesting: the Manhatten waterfront in 1938 (City Histories section), the year I was born.
