Burning Of the Bridges.

The railroad bridge between Fairfield
and Benton was burned for the first time
in 1861. At that time the wooden COW
cred bridge to the second island was de-
stroyed. That was rebuilt within short
time. For the second time the bridge
was burned in 1873 Then the part at
tackled by fire was the 4oo-foot bridge ex-
tending from the Benton side to the sec
ond island. About the origin of the fires
there has been a mystery and doubtless
always will be. Both fires, as the old
timers remember, seemed to have consid-
cradle starts before being discovered
Many have offered the suggestions and
few have denied that the fires in 1861 and
in 1873 were started through jealousy on
the part of down river contemporaries
After the burning of the bridge for the
second time the junction was removed to
Waterville where the bridge which has
been recently condemned took the place
of the Inflated Fairfield construction.

Old Stage Line Used

During the time that the bridge at Wat
erville was being built and the new rail
road line being constructed from Water.
vile to Benton on the Benton side the
passengers of the trains were transferred
from the Benton side to the Fairfield side
on the Back Route line by stage V
D. Pinkham of Augusta, the late veteran
stage driver. signed a contract to trans
fer the passengers for that time. Six
horses were put into use for that purpose
Every train was met on the Benton side
and the passengers were transferred to
the Fairfield side. The stage also met
every train on the Fairfield side taking
the passengers to the Benton side.
With the building of the railroad bridge
between Fairfield and Benton it Is antici-
pated that large amount of the old time
transient trade will be renewed. 1t will
mean a business boom for the town OF
Fairfield. Many of the business men of
the town already report that they are
able to clearly see that this construction
work will be good thing for the town.

The Old Stations.

All train son the Back Route line went
over this bridge. The trains started at
Bangor and ran to Danville Junction,
through Lewiston. From Danville juno
ton the trains were hauled over the
Grand Trunk line to Portland. Trains
leaving Portland for Bangor by the
Back Route were in turn hauled to
Danville Junction over the Grand Trunk
line. The Fairfield station of this line
was almost opposite the station of the
Portland and Kennebec line. 1t was what
is now the paint shop owned by A. P.
Morrill,, and stood almost where it does
at the present time, except that it was
raised to the level of the tracks. The
Fairfield station of the other line was in
the same place as it is today. The trains
over this later line were from Portland
to Skowhegan by the way of Augusta.
At Waterville, the station of the Back
Route" was at the foot of Temple street
near the toll bridge. The station of the
Portland and Kennebec line was where
the present station stands.

Page Of Fairfield Only Survivor.

OF all the engineers, firemen, brakemen
and other employees of the old Portland
& Kennebec line George Page of West
ern Avenue, Fairfield, is the only one who
is living at the present day. He was en-
ployed for some time as fireman on this
line and later left for Kentucky, where
he was at the time the Fairfield and Ben
ton railroad bridge was burned for the
second time.
The old railroad bridge at Fairfield, the
rebuilding of which is practically assured,
was built between Fairfield and West
Benton in 1855. The trestle started on the
Fairfield side at the point known as
Murray's Curve. 1t extended easterly. a
dirt filling being placed between the
curve and upper Main street, Fairfield.
A high trestle extended over Main street,
with pier supporting the bridge placed
evenly in the center Of the roadway.
The trestle went to the first channel Of
the Kennebec river, and there was a
bridge which went over the first island
forming into a covered bridge which went
to the second island More trestle work
carried the line across the second island
and over the third channel to the main
land on the Benton side There the bridge
ended at what Is known as Parker's
crossing. From the second island to the
Benton mainland the distance was 400
feet.
