Article title

I can't find where the current article title, Pennsylvania Railroad Connecting Bridge, was ever used in a reference.

That said, it's not clear how Wikipedia:Naming conventions could be applied to select just one name for a bridge that has had so many.

Three alternatives worth considering are:

The railroad's name, Connecting Railway Bridge (cf. Ohio Connecting Railroad Bridge in Pittsburgh);
The historic name, Mantua Junction Viaduct, hinted at by the Mantua Junction redlink in the Connecting Railway article; or
Whatever's listed in the Fairmount Park nomination to the National Register of Historic Places (unfortunately not yet digitized).

Everyone is of course welcome to weigh in on these suggestions and to propose others. Martindelaware (talk) 07:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The current name of this bridge is similar to the names of several other railroad bridges, so perhaps it is appropriate. See List of crossings of the Schuylkill River for several other railroad bridges beginning with the name of a railroad. I created some of those articles, so perhaps the parallel is not completely trustworthy. Brian Solomon's book does not name the bridge in the photo of the bridge caption. --DThomsen8 (talk) 13:23, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
