RANDOLPH — A large hydraulic crane slowly swung the 1917 steel railroad bridge on the Presidential Rail Trail back onto its now-repaired abutments shortly after 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 15, just in time for this year’s season.
“It was poetry in motion!” reports Marianne Borowski of Glen, who initiated the Cross New Hampshire Adventure Trail (xNHAT). “The bridge is solidly in place; we even walked over it. Hooray for Dennis and Laura Thompson and their team from Northern New England Field Services LLC of Stewartstown1.” CCS Constructors LLC of Morrisville, Vt., supplied the crane and its crew.
