Need help in identifying 314 bridge | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Gene DickersonOGR Forum Member

Found this Lionel 314 bridge under the train table the other day and have been unable to verify what time period it was produced. From searches, it appears the postwar 314 bridge came in two versions, but both had the word Lionel on each side in black letters. Could it be from Prewar era or something else? The bottom of the bridge is clearly marked as a 314 bridge and was made in the US.

Someone painted it.

Thanks Eddie, that was my theory as well!

The heavy all metal bridges are Post War made in the late 40's I believe. Later ones have the plastic sides that are screwed on.
