Farmington River Railroad Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Built in the mid-19th century, the Farmington River Railroad Bridge in Windsor, Connecticut is a remarkable example of early American engineering. With its seven stone arches and solid sandstone construction, the bridge has stood strong for over 150 years, still carrying rail traffic today. Its unique design helped it resist ice and accommodate river navigation—earning it a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
