DescriptionThis metal toy girder bridge features vertical raised ridges on either side of the bridge's railing and reads the word "Lionel" in large black lettering on the side. The toy bridge comes with its cardboard box, which is a vibrant red color and is outlined in white. Appearing similar to a matchbox, this box is rectangular, and the cover features a dark navy blue and white rectangle in the middle reading "Lionel" in dark blocky lettering. Underneath this reads "Electric" in spread-apart red lettering. The bottom of the shape reads "Trains" in the same dark blocky lettering. Just outside the center box, it reads "314" in the lower left corner. The side edge of the toy box features two long stripes, with a dark one at the bottom and a white one resting directly above it. The top white stripe reads "The Lionel Corporation" in dark, blocky lettering, while the "314" is still visible in the upper left-hand corner, just above the stripes.
