The was an article in the April 1963 Popular Science Magazine that showed how much the bridge flexed when a D Type ran acroos it: the first phot showed the Tip of the Williamsburg Bridge's towers from the Roadway of the Manny B. When a D Tpe approached that spot, you could see the entire roadway of the Willy B. The Manny B appeared to have shifted 12-13 inches. This is why towards the end of their operation, the D Tpyes, normally on the Sea Beach and Brighton Expresses, were ordered off the bridge and ran on the West End Local. |
