Description: Illustrated history of this Florida East Coast Railway bridge over the St. Johns River at Jacksonville.
Florida East Coast Railway's Strauss Trunnion Bascule Bridge Over the St. Johns River at Jacksonville Unless otherwise noted, all illustrations and text are copyright 1997, E W Wall. In 1922, the Florida East Coast Railway contracted with the Strauss Bascule Bridge Company of Chicago for the construction of a twin-track bridge to replace the single-track swing-span bridge connecting Jacksonville with South Jacksonville. A new highway bridge (the St. Elmo Acosta bridge, now gone, from which these photos were taken) next to the FEC made swinging the earlier bridge difficult, and it was desired to make the entire mainline twin-track all the way from Jacksonville Terminal to Miami Station.
