Railroad bridge over the Navesink River, the Twin Lights & the Marconi tower
that transmitted the first shore-to-ship wireless signal.
Superb postcard from the Edward F. Thomas Collection.

Without the sea wall that thin stretch of Sea Bright probably wouldn't exist today. I don't recall ever seeing a railroad bridge there.

Good news: Starting today one can take a trolley from Penn Station to Newark Museum!
