As far as I know, the Point Bridge wasn't used for anything after 1959. I no
idea when the overhead wire was removed nor when the bridge trackage was
severed from the rest of the system. I have, however, seen a photo taken on
the Point Bridge just before it was dismantled in 1970. The rails were in
place, along with all sorts of weeds sprouting on the bridge deck.
