BM - Ware River Bridge #1
Description
Former Central Massachusetts Railroad. It's unclear whether or not this bridge is active or not...it seems that the present-day Mass Central RR is using the initial portion of the former Central Mass lead to store cars. However, it's doubtful that they are operating over/past this bridge, which likely has a weight restriction on it. In any case, at some point in the future assuming that it's still there, it will likely be incorporated into the Mass Central Rail Trail.
