The Keating's Ultimate Covered Bridge Tour Part
11
Hi Folks
After checking in at the Quality Inn in Brattleboro, Vermont, on September 23rd, we
visited the Best and Titcomb bridges.
On Saturday, the 24th, we rode the "Rutland Limited," a Green
Mountain all-day train from Bellows Falls to Rutland. There was a 90-minute stopover in Rutland.
On the return trip the train stopped at the Bartonsville bridge and half the passengers got out to
photograph it. The Worrall bridge picture was taken from the train.
On the 25th we drove to Wilton,ew Hampshire and rode the Wilton
Scenic Railroad. Since it was only a two hour ride we visited the New Hampshire bridges Carlton,
Combs, Slate and Ashuelot.
The Slate was completely destroyed by fire in 1993 and rebuilt
in 2001 (sign on bridge).
Ashuelot bridge is very attractive--white on the inside and
outside with a red roof for a striking contrast. There was a historical sign indicating that it had
been completely reconstructed. Notice the twin pedestrian walkways. The picture of the inside
latticework is very attractive. A similar picture was on the opening page of the New Hampshire
travel website last year when I first started research on this trip.
