Derby-Shelton Railroad Bridge, Shelton, Connecticut:
In 1888, railroads and trestles were laid from the Shelton side of the Housatonic River. The rail bridge to Derby was projected to cost $100,000. When completed, steam trains of the Shelton Railroad Company carried passengers and freight to and from New York.
Nowadays, pedestrians are not supposed to walk across this railroad bridge, but many do anyway, because it’s a shortcut to Derby.
