One walk walk I really looked forward to was completing the airline trail to the Mass. boarder. One of the oddities on this trail is this bridge over the old railroad. Once there must have been a good solid bridge here, the stonework below tells that story. Later it was replaced by a flimsy wooden structure that is now failing apart. What is most interesting is there are no remains of a road that once must have been there. This bridge is literally in the middle of nowhere and on both sides it leads to nothing. Getting to this bridge is a relatively short easy walk, less than 2 miles round trip. If you are willing to walk close to 4 miles you can walk to the boarder.
