DescriptionRailroad tracks are on what appears to be a temporary wooden bridge. Additional tracks run along an embankment in the background. Utility poles and a station are nearby. Men and boys sit on railroad ties in the foreground near a large piece of machinery that may be a pile driver. A stone arched bridge is at the right near additional construction equipment, including a crane. The Connecticut River is at the left.
NotesSubject Note: Construction of the new stone arch Bulkeley Bridge by McMullin, Weand & McDermott began early in 1904 and continued until the December 1907 when the bridge opened to trolley traffic and the general public.Status
