Dock Bridge, is a vertical lift bridge built in 1935 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 3, 1980. Sometimes known as the Amtrak Dock Vertical Lift, the bridge crosses the Passaic River at Newark and Harrison in northeastern New Jersey and carries Amtrak, New Jersey Transit, and Port Authority Trans Hudson and part of the Northeast Corridor. The bridge is manned.[3]

When built it was an important component in making obsolete the Pennsylvania Railroad's Manhattan Transfer, just east of Newark Penn Station (also opened in 1935),where passengers would change from deisel trains to Exchange Place to electrified trains for New York Penn Station.
