Rail-fan Pictures in Thomaston
The Rockland Branch had six small span drawbridges that were originally built to allow coastal sailing scows to access small inland waterways and transport pulpwood, stone, or agricultural produce up and down the coast. Four of these bridges are still on the line and two are in the Thomaston area and easily accessed.
