In addition to the Railroad Display at Lewes Jct., the Lewes Junction Railroad and BRIDGE Association also maintains the Swing Bridge that carried the railroad over the Lewes/Rehoboth Canal until the line was taken out of service in 2016.

Working with DelDOT and the City of Lewes, a display location was identified for the bridge. And on February 15th and 16th, 2022, the bridge was picked up and slowly moved from the canal to the display site about a quarter mile away.

Built in 1916 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the bridge was part of the construction of the canal by the Corps of Engineers. It is a hand-cranked bobtail swing bridge.

The bridge is displayed at the end of American Legion Rd. Banners and information kiosks tell the full story of the bridge, including it's part in the upgrading and maintenance of Ft. Miles before and during WWII.

The red PRR Caboose that's at the RR Display, PRR 477123, is the same caboose shown crossing the swing bridge in the fourth picture.
