Mossdale Bridge or Mossdale Railroad Bridge is a vertical-lift railway bridge spanning the San Joaquin River in the city of Lathrop, California. The original Mossdale swing bridge, completed by Western Pacific Railroad (1862-1870) on September 6, 1869, was the first bridge built across the San Joaquin River as well as the first railroad bridge built over navigable waters West of the Missouri River. It was also the last link on the
