The old Summit Hill road bridge in Washington MA. This bridge stretched over the "Washington cut" on the Boston line until 2017, when it was replaced with a new bridge. The bridge was a repurposed turntable from the old Chester MA roundhouse. After the closing of the Chester roundhouse and serving as a locomotive turntable for many years, it then was removed and hauled up to Washington where it served as a auto bridge for many decades until it was deemed unsafe for auto traffic and replaced.
