If that used to be used to access the Schuylkill Division, then why was the 52nd Street Bridge constructed?Simplistic answer: The lower bridges came out of the former freight yard. The high bridge was basically the westbound passenger flyover for the Main Line and to the Schuylkill Division bypassing the yard.
