"In Millville, Massachusetts, the SNE (Southern New England Railroad, aka the Grand Trunk Railroad) would have passed over the Blackstone River on a high-level bridge, with both the New York and New England Railroad (now abandoned) and the Providence and Worcester Railroad (still in use) below. Several full-height supports were built, as well as several partial supports in the river." Wikipedia |

Google Earth view of our trip on the Blackstone River on May 4, 2013. The GPS added one strange little line that we didn't do. That's the white line that arcs over BLKSTN. The information below is from the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor site. |

The white lines on the Google Earth view above show our route. The one below shows the part of it that's in the far right above. It's water that backed up by the Rolling Dam and forms a bit of a pond. |
