New York Central Railroad 69th Street Transfer Bridge, Railway transfer bridge in Upper West Side, Manhattan, US.

The 69th Street Transfer Bridge features a linkspan design with mechanical components for transferring railroad cars between land and water transport.

Built in 1911 by the New York Central Railroad, this bridge enabled the movement of freight cars across the Hudson River to New Jersey's Weehawken Yards.

The structure represents early 20th-century industrial engineering solutions and stands as a testament to Manhattan's transportation development.

Located between West 66th and 70th Streets along the Hudson River, this bridge serves as an educational point within Riverside Park.

The mechanical linkspan design prevented loaded freight cars from falling into the river during transfer operations between rail lines and floating barges.
