Lewiston Railroad Bridge
Central Maine Railroad trestle spanning the Androscoggin River. Lewiston-Auburn, ME.
In March of 1936 a warm, moisture-laden front moved into and stalled over New England, resulting in unseasonably warm temperatures as well as heavy rainfall. Totals topped 15 inches of rain in a 14-day period. A deep snowpack melted rapidly and rivers that were choked with ice overflowed their banks. At Gulf Island Dam the river roared over at 212,000 cubic feet per second, topping the previous record of 60,000. More than a dozen railroad cars filled with gravel were pulled onto the trestle spanning Great Falls. The extra weight was meant to keep the bridge from washing away.

Before It’s Gone
I read an article in the Worcester Magazine about the upcoming replacement of the Kenneth F. Burns MA-9 bridge across Lake Quinsigamond. The aritcle mentions that it will be an $138 million dollar project. Mention is made of it being a “signature bridge“. The current bridge opened to traffic in 1919. I wasn’t able to find an explicit reference about who it is named after, but my guess would be the Kenneth F. Burns mentioned here. There are quite a few rowing events held on the lake to this day.
As to the picture itself, I am quite pleased with the composition a wonderful exercise in perspective I think. I cropped the bottom a tiny bit. Other than that, I only did an auto curves adjustment layer in Photoshop.

Fort Duquesne Bridge. Pittsburgh, PA.
The Fort Duquesne Bridge gained notoriety as “The Bridge To Nowhere” due to delays in construction which left the northern end of the span hanging in midair for many years until approach ramps were built. Source: PGHBridges.com
