BM - Alcott Trestle
Description
One of four wrought-iron viaducts on the former Manchester & Keene Railroad (later the B&M Keene Branch). No build date is listed in the 1938 abandonment proceedings, but based on the similar design to the Marlborough Trestle (http://bridgehunter.com/nh/cheshire/bh70441/), this structure was likely built around 1883-4. The line was abandoned and large structures removed in 1938 following damage from flooding.
