Brielle Draw is a railroad bascule bridge over Manasquan River in Brielle, Monmouth County and Point Pleasant Beach, Ocean County, New Jersey, United States west of the Manasquan Inlet to the Atlantic Ocean.[1] It carries a single track of the New Jersey Transit Rail Operations (NJT) North Jersey Coast Line (MP 36.38) between Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach stations. It had once been part of Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ), New York & Long Branch Railroad (NYLB) and Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) operations.[2] The line is also served by the River Draw over the Raritan River, the Morgan Draw over Cheesequake Creek, the Oceanport Draw over Oceanport Creek and the Shark River Draw.
