It Connected the Tracks
Between South Water
and Dyer Streets.

The railroad bridge across the river.
leading diagonally from South Water
To Dyeri streets, almost opposite Gus
tom House street. is being removed,
and in a few hours nothing will be left
OF this structure, which has been used
by the Consolidated road since 1893, for
its freight traffic. The taking up OF
the bridge is natural result OF the
cutting of the rails on the piece of city
land at the junction OF Canal and Stee-
pie streets. for since these rails have
been removed the bridge has become
useless.
The bridge was originally built by
the railroad company so as TO connect
with it's tracks on Dyer at the time
the city was building the Dorrance
street sewer in 1898. for at that time
the New England Railroad was shut
off from using the tracks on Dorrance
street for the transportation OF its
freight cars TO and from Dyer street
points. Later-the- Consolidated road
obtained control of the New England
Railroad and the company decided TO
transport all freight cars from the
main tracks by way of Canal and
South Water and the bridge. and the
tracks on Dorrance street were ordered
up.
