Contocook RR Covered Bridge New Hampshire

Contocook RR Covered Bridge (29-07-07) originally built in 1849-50 but major reconstruction was done in 1899. This bridge is 140 feet long.
After a flood in 1936 the bridge was damaged, and then a hurricane damaged it in again 1938, at which time it was taken down and restored. From 1962 untill 1990 it was a warehouse, the bridge was given to New Hampshire Division of Historic Resources in 1990.
Closed to traffic, but its still standing today.
The date of the photo from the Fred Yenerall Collection is 1976.

I am not sure if this is a tunnel for cars to drive through or for trains to go through. The slide itself didn't say. But its sure an awesome photo.

Old Train


Wow, scanning the slides today, I found this really nice picture of this double header train that my grandfather took. This photo is from 1977 it was taken in Westmoreland county. I should be uploading it to the website over the weekend. While I don't have alot of trains up, I do have alot of covered bridges up. I will be uploading more to the FMY website this weekend, which is linked to smugmug, if it wasn't for smugmug I wouldn't be as far as I am uploading photos. You can see the rest of the Fred Yenerall Collection at www.fmyphotos.com
All of these photos were taken by my grandfather, and are on 35mm slide, I have spent the last 3 years scanning, and restoring them to upload and display. I think they are really great shots that he took over a span of 30 years from the 1960's till the early 1980's. I can hardly wait till everything is scanned and uploaded to the site.
