Point-No-Point Replacement In Progress. Conrail Day (so named for the creation of Consolidated Rail Corporation on April 1, 1976), April 1, 2023, was a good day to check on the progress of the construction on the replacement for the Point-No-Point camelback through truss bridge over the Passaic River from Newark to Kearny, New Jersey. This bridge was opened in 1901 by the Pennsylvania Railroad as a freight bypass of its mainline and today serves Conrail Shared Assets trains. In an interview, Ryan Hill, Conrail’s Chief Engineer of Design and Construction estimated the cost of the replacement bridge to be $212 million.
