(4) The Saga of SBSE
Title:  (4) The Saga of SBSE
Description:  Another sprint ahead gets me up to Bancroft and across the tracks well ahead of him. Looks like he's gained a little more speed, up to about 10 mph. We'll make a run for Ballou's, about 4 1/2 miles further up the hill, to see if he makes it that far.

Stone Arch Bridge, from the original track alignment of the Western Railroad
Title:  Stone Arch Bridge, from the original track alignment of the Western Railroad
Description:  The original alignment of the the Boston & Albany main line up the Middlefield Gorge in Western Massachusetts employed two beautiful stone arch bridges over the River. The track was subsequently re-routed to ease the grade, which took the original bridges out of service. An interesting factoid - The chief engineer of the original Western Railroad was Whistler's father (i.e. - the father of the artist who did the famous painting "Whistler's Mother.")
