Hell Gate Bridge

E Early Dutch sailors named the stretch of rip current

between what is now Wards Island and Queens,
Long Island the "Gates of Hell" for the numerous
wrecks and high losses it tolled. Hundreds of years
later, passage across these waters posed perhaps the
last large obstacle for the Pennsylvania Railroad in
its quest to surpass the New York Central as the
nation's largest railway.

To achieve its goal, the Pennsylvania Railroad joined

forces with the New York-New Haven & Hartford
high main arch finally opened in 1917. A tribute to
Lindenthal's abilities, Hell Gate Bridge remained
fully operational until 1994 without any significant
maintenance. After many owners and in much need
of repair, the Hell Gate Bridge finally received nec-

the high splendor of its original beauty.

MTH Electric Trains is proud to introduce a fully

operational replica of the Hell Gate Bridge for 1999.
