The other day, I accompanied Wayne Duffett of TEC Associates on his annual inspection of the bridges on Conway Scenic\u2019s Conway Branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This railroad was built in the early 1870s, by Boston & Maine constituent railroad, the Portsmouth, Great Falls & Conway. The last B&M train operated over the branch in 1972, nearly 50 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bridges on the line have long and varied histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made several hundred photographs as Wayne tapped, rapped, poked, measured and visually inspected each and every span. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conway Branch has wooden, stone, iron, steel and conctrete bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learn a lot when scrutinizing a railroad at this level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the photos were exposed using my Nikon Z6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
