1890c MEC Farmington, Me 002

Description

According to a 1904 MEC Public Timetable it is only 1 mile or 4 minutes between West Farmington and Farmington. Accordingly just 2 or 3 minutes ago the train left West Farmington and has just crossed the Sandy River and in a few moments will cross the diamond with the Two Foot Sandy River. The photo is dated c1890. This long pile trestle was filled in and now is vacant but is easily walked to the bridge abutment. The area in the foreground was a ball field when I last visited in 2009. /DL
