Pawcatuck River Railroad Bridge

Posted May 18, 2013, by John Wilson (NH4142 [at] webtv [dot] net)

This bridge has been modified by having its open deck covered with a concrete "trough" fully balasted deck. Track 2 on this bridge was rebuilt in May, 2013 and a quick look around gives the impression that the struture is in very good conditon.
