Sometimes people are surprised to learn that there are two railroad drawbridges in L.I.C. The LIRR Drawbridges are hidden in plain sight. DB and M drawbridges are located right next to each other just off Newtown Creek in LIC. Both were built for 2 track operations, and both only have a single stretch of track in use today. The similarities end there.
