      The Broadway Bridge over the Harlem Ship Canal was built in 1895. In 1906, they replaced it with a new double-decker bridge to accommodate the new IRT subway, but why scrap a bridge that was only 11 years old? They stuck it on two barges, side by side, and floated it down the river to 207th Street, where it was in service until about 1992.
