Considered one of the finest brick-built, single span (at 90 feet) bridges in the country

This bridge, originally constructed in 1860 was built for the nearby granite mines. It now unfortunately only carries a conveyer belt from the near by mine to the main line a mile or so to the left. Image taken looking upstream (south).
