Wellington Covered Bridge
This abutment can barely be seen through the trees north of the Sni A Bar Through Truss bridge. It sits on the East bank. I saw no exidence on the West bank of an abutment, nor any evidence on this day of the middle pier. Judging by the rail bridge lower support visible in the background under the covered bridge, an guessing at distance, It may be that this is the East abutment for the old Covered bridge, though one comment posted indicates that it is for an older rail bridge.
