HX Draw, Railway and bascule bridge in Secaucus, US.
The HX Draw bridge carries two New Jersey Transit train lines across the Hackensack River between Secaucus and East Rutherford.
Joseph Strauss completed the construction of this heel trunnion bascule bridge in 1911, marking an early example of such engineering in the United States.
The Warren through truss design of the HX Draw bridge demonstrates the advancement of transportation infrastructure in the early twentieth century.
New Jersey Transit maintains and operates this double-purpose bridge, which facilitates both rail transportation and river navigation through its opening mechanism.
The bridge received the nickname 'The Jack-Knife' due to its specific opening method, which differs from standard bascule bridge operations.
