Please update the "Facts" section as the Armory Branch and the track on the bridge is NOT out of service, just not in regular use for freight rail traffic. Construction and inspection vehicles (hyrails) are on the line, on the bridge and the approaches.
CNZR - Armory Branch Scantic River Bridge
Posted August 5, 2021, by CNZR
This bridge is not abandoned. CNZR installed a new bridge deck (bridge timbers) in late 2020 / early 2021 and plans to run over it in 2022 when other track repairs are complete.

Before they removed the dam that was just down river, this bridge was often jumped off of by local teens. Locally called, “The Trestle”. As in, “Let’s meet at “the trestle” and we’ll jump into the water.”
