Historically Speaking: The story behind Exeter’s Park Street Railroad Bridge

In 1890, the Boston and Maine upgraded their tracks, and its Exeter bridges were too narrow. The Newfields Road bridge was rebuilt and widened, but the railroad balked at the cost of replacing the Park Street bridge. The street was closed in January of 1892, and the bridge was torn down to extend three full lines of tracks across Park Street.
