The rail crossing of the Connecticut River (United States) at this location originates from the Vermont and Massachusetts Railroad. The V&MRR was chartered in 1844 and completed an extension between Millers Falls, Massachusetts and Brattleboro, Vermont by 1850. Alvah Crocker, a paper and railroad magnate and U.S. Representative, was the first president of the V&MRR.[1] Initially, the V&MRR was operated by Crocker's Fitchburg Railroad.
This rail bridge was used by Amtrak's Vermonter passenger service until December 2014.
