Black Point Railroad Bridge, Railroad swing bridge in Black Point-Green Point, California.
The Black Point Railroad Bridge extends across the Petaluma River with steel truss construction and a rotating mechanism for water traffic passage.
Northwestern Pacific Railroad constructed this bridge in 1911 to replace an earlier structure built by the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad.
The bridge became a central location for railroad workers, ticket sales, and community gatherings during the early twentieth century development.
Remote control boxes installed in 2011 replaced the century-old manual operation system requiring operators to enter the control house.
The structure includes a 50-foot center span complemented by asymmetrical approach trestles measuring 311 feet on the west and 877 feet east.
