The Trolley Bridge Between Sunbury & Shamokin Dam

 The new trolley bridge between Sunbury And Shamokin Dam opened on October 5th 1907.  The bridge was built for the S&S (Sunbury & Selinsgrove) Trolley line.
The bridge provided a rail line for the trolleys, wagons, and automobiles.  

A toll house was constructed on the east end of the bridge, in Sunbury.
