Facts and practical information
WR Draw is an out-of-service railroad bridge crossing the Passaic River between Newark and the Arlington section of Kearny, New Jersey. The plate girder rim-bearing swing bridge, originally built in 1897 and modified in 1911 and 1950, is the 14th bridge from the river's mouth at Newark Bay and is 8.1 miles upstream from it. Last used for regular passenger service in 2002, it is welded in closed position as its height is not considered a hazard to navigation. ()
