What kind of bridge can carry freight trains from New York City to Harrisburg without ever seeing Philadelphia? That’s the Trenton Cutoff Bridge No. 25. Look up at those steel beams. The Trenton Cutoff Bridge No. 25 is a Warren truss bridge. It was built in 1891. It’s part of a rail line designed to bypass Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Railroad opened the entire 48-mile Trenton Cutoff in 1892. It was built for mainline freight traffic running between New York City and Harrisburg. The route goes through the suburbs north and west of the city. The Trenton Cutoff Bridge No. 25 isn’t just any bridge. It’s a symbol of efficient engineering. It represents a time when railroads sought to optimize their routes. They wanted to avoid the congestion of city centers. The bridge is a testament to their success.
