NX Bridge, Railway bridge on Passaic River in Newark, United States.
The NX Bridge connects Newark and Kearny with two movable sections that lift upward to allow water vessels passage beneath the railway tracks.
Constructed in 1922 by Erie Railroad, this double-track structure served as part of the Newark Branch until Conrail discontinued its operations in 1977.
The bridge gained recognition in 1982 when film producers painted it black with silver rails for the movie Annie, leading to its alternate name.
Norfolk Southern Railway maintains ownership of the bridge within the North Jersey Shared Assets Area, though it remains fixed in an elevated position.
Located 6.5 miles upstream from Newark Bay, this bascule bridge stands as the thirteenth crossing point from the Passaic River's mouth.
