Bridge 10 over the Erie Canal and Mohawk River in Schenectady. Bridge 10 is a railroad bridge used by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The rails on the bridge were realigned as part of a clearance project in the late 1990s. The double track was removed and replaced by a single set of rails in the center of the bridge. [1] This was to allow the passage of very large steam turbine parts to be moved by rail from Schenectady's General Electric to the Port of Albany. [2]
