Description

De Hell Gate Bridge is een 5,2 km lange stalen spoorbrug met een grote boog die Queens en Randalls and Wards Islands in New York City met elkaar verbindt over een deel van East River dat bekendstaat als Hell Gate. De brug is in eigendom van Amtrak.

De brug moest de New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad verbinden met de Pennsylvania Railroad. Beide maatschappijen hadden hiervoor al in 1892 de New York Connecting Railroad opgericht, maar dit bedrijf was al enige tijd niet meer actief. De New York Connecting Railroad werd met de bouw van de brug alsnog de verbindende schakel tussen beide spoorwegmaatschappijen, waarbij de treindienst en het onderhoud door de New Haven werden verricht.
