**********
The B&M bridge Stanford refers to was the Boston & Maine R.R. bridge which was part of the line that went to Troy, NY.

Interestingly enough, a railroad engine built in Schenectady for the B&M ended up in the Portsmouth Harbor in 1939 after taking a detour off the Piscataqua River Bridge, according to the website Railroad.Net.
