East Deerfield New Bridge—June 2018 Up Date.

We called it the ‘waste too much film bridge’.

How many thousands of photographs have been exposed from the old bridge at the west end of Boston & Maine’s East Deerfield Yard?

The new bridge is progressing. I made these photos a few days ago.

Old and new bridges at McClelland Farm Road, East Deerfield, Massachusetts.

As mentioned in an earlier post, a new pole-line has been erected to the east of the old bridge that threatens to ruin photographs. How will this ultimately affect views from the new bridge?

Suitable vantage points are key to making good photographs, so I’m curious to see what the new bridge offers. If it turns out to be of little use, I’ll need to find new vantage points.

  1. Hmm, Maybe there’s hope for the view from the new bridge after all.

    Ask the contractor if the electric line is a temporary line. MOST new construction places utilities underground or in this case in a covered conduit on the bridge so an accident or the elements (i.e. freezing rain) won’t drag it down and take the utility out of service!.

    You will need a pole filter
