Does anyone know the Lionel SKU Number or Item Number for the bridge shown in the photos below?
I bought it used today from my LHS without any owners manual. The LHS owner told me this bridge is known as the Lionel Operating Girder Bridge, and was made in the 1990s. When I googled that I could not find.
I want to get the wiring instructions. Arnold

Lionel 6-14173 Operating Drawbridge
Here is a link to the manual.
Choo Choo Charlie & Rich, special thanks to both of you.
Turns out that my LHS owner, Tom of Tom's Trains in Ardsley. NY, who is a great guy with a wonderful hobby shop, got the name of this accessory wrong, but you wonderful and brilliant guys go the name right and directed me to the Lionel on-line owner's manual that I needed.
This accessory is exactly what I needed and fits perfectly where I will have it on my layout. It works, and over the weekend I will position it and hook it up to my layout.
I already have the Lionel Bsscule bridge to serve as a draw bridge for the train to come to, and go from, the new peninsula on my layout. Next to the Bascule Bridge I will place this Lionel Operating Draw Bridge to serve as a drawbridge for automobiles on the road that comes to, and goes from, that same penninsula.
You can't really see the road I'm talking about in the above photo that only shows the raised Bascule Bridge, not the draw bridge. The draw bridge will cross the river where the tugboat is, and then I'll move the tugboat and a smaller barge a little further up the river.
When I have the drawbridge placed, hooked up and operating, then I will post photos of it, and a video showing it in action.

We’ll cross that bridge when you get to it! Lol.
so much progress Arnold, fascinating new additions to the layout.
Arnold, I have one of those in a box somewhere here in the train room. I'll have to do some digging to find it but I can scan the manual and e-mail it you can't find on Lionel's new web site.

Thanks, Joe, but I already got the manual digitally. Rich posted the link for it in his above reply on this thread, and I already wired it and it is working on my layout. I will post a video of it on the Breaking News thread! Arnold
