Operations. Approaching the North River from the east (actual compass heading is south) the single track WWSL mainline rises along a short fill to cross over the river on a 350 ft long bridge made up of one thru plate girder section on the east side of the river, one steel through truss bridge over the river, and another thru plate girder section on the west side of the river. The west end of the bridge leads to the top of a bluff overlooking the west shore.
