VOLUME 23:
MODELING DUTCH KILLS LIFT BRIDGE

By Nicholas Kalis

Twenty-three in a series of glimpses into industries or warehouses that made for interesting freight operations on the Long Island. Information presented has included, where available, a brief history of the firm, how it was served by the LIRR, and what commodities were received or shipped from this facility.


This article is a bit different from the others in this series as it focuses on a yard instead of an industry.

Much of this information was obtained from the photo to the right.

Modeling

 

The best way to model the bridge operator's office and the attached shed may be to kitbash Walther’s Part 933-2810 MSRP$29.98 pictured below.
