| 説明 | This old railroad bridge is a familiar sight to motorists traveling through Portland, Maine on Interstate 295 or perhaps from the old US Route 1. I like the sky in this monotone version.The rail swing bridge and trestle was built in 1848 when the Atlantic & St. Lawrence railroad began service from Portland to Yarmouth Maine. To cross the Portland peninsula, the trestle was built, an impressive feat of engineering at the time. In order to allow tall masted ships of the day into Back Cove, the bridge would swing open. The bridge remained in service for over 100 years as a link from Portland to Montreal Canada with the Atlantic & St. Lawrence and later the Grand Trunk Railway. In 1984 it was a victim of arson and the fire damaged it to the point that the Grand Trunk didn't feel it was worth the cost of repair as passenger service ended in the 60's and its freight customers on the Portland peninsula had dwindled significantly as more and more goods were being shipped by truck. Since that day the bridge has been left in the open position and the end of the line for the current rail operators, the St. Lawrence and Atlantic railroad, ends at the B&M Baked Bean plant.
