Hey SL.
I am working off a set of detailed drawings for a float bridge used by the Baltimore & Ohio RR that were given to me. Apparently it is still standing but not in use, and also happens to be the only wooden float bridge built to replace a steel one if you can believe that!?!

I'd like to get my hands on the book New York Harbor RR's in colour, but its out of print and I've only found it being sold for ridiculous prices elsewhere. It apparently has some really nice pictures of the bridge in pristine condition. That weblink is not the first reference I've heard that from either.
