  1. Great story….it highlights the fact that there will be secrets we may never know….it makes it fun to keep looking!

  2. Roger, I did have one of these bridges on my layout but it kind of 'disappeared' through the years. I always liked the unit as I am not a rivet counter. Sad to say but I have no info about it. Nice video and, unlike our politicians, you presented your story with a breath of fresh air because you didn't use a teleprompter. Thank you.

  3. Roger…See "The Train Collectors Quarterly" , January 2014 , Vol.60, No. 1. , Bill Mixon article , "What's A Junior Bridge". Lots of pictures of Junior Bridge products , including the #401 signal bridge , with track contacts. If product numbers were sequential , the #401 would logically have been a later product in the Junior line , since they had products with 100,200 and 300 numbers . . Also , the Junior Bridge Co. , New Jersey addess was in Ridgefield Park. I believe your video says "Ridgewood Park". Happy sleuthing ! Dave Kinzelman

  4. Roger Carp's video programs ought to be made available on DVD. They are wonderful. I would almost go so far as to give Roger the moniker of the "Mr. Rogers of the Toy Train World." Great programs, Roger!

  5. Ever find any more information about Jr.Bridge Co. ? What about checking business licensees issued by the city of New York ? Surely they have some sort of archives on them . I've seen them listed on E-bay but never gave it any thought as to their origin.
