The Dumbarton Rail Bridge is an unused railroad bridge across San Francisco Bay between Redwood City and Newark, California . The single-track bridge is designed as a truss bridge with Pratt girders. The last freight train ran in 1982. Parts of the wooden foreshore bridge collapsed in 1998 after a fire presumably caused by arson.
