Boston & Maine Charles River Bridges
Bring a little Boston and Cambridge home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
A cup at the kitchen table gives the morning a small pause. The Boston and Maine bridges near North Station put movable railway spans beside the Charles channel, with train routes and navigation sharing the engineering setting.
Four double-track rolling-lift bascule bridges near North Station were completed in 1931 after relocation of the Charles River channel. The engineering survey documents their open and closed positions. These crossings brought railway operation and river navigation together, with movable spans designed to serve both kinds of traffic.
The bascule bridges connect rail operation with boats passing the river crossing, keeping their open and closed positions part of the practical transport story. Keep it for the next cup after a few tasks, with the picture there to notice while you sit at the table.
