DB Draw is a railroad swing bridge crossing the Hackensack River between Secaucus and Kearny, in New Jersey, United States. It was built in 1899 by the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad.[1] (Reorganized in 1895 as the Erie Railroad.) The bridge was decommissioned in October 2002 and left in an open position for river traffic.[2][3]

The DB bridge used to carry New Jersey Transit's Boonton Line until the line was connected to the Montclair Branch via the Montclair Connection, to form the Montclair-Boonton Line. The bridge then reverted to Norfolk Southern Railway control, which has since placed it out of service.
