Green Mountain/Rutland Bridge over Williams River and Hurricane Irene

(Bridge Hunter; no Historic Bridges; Satellite)

Even though the bridge is aways southeast of downtown Chester, the bridge is in the town because the town's boundaries include a lot of farmland.

I've seen this photo many times, but this time enough information was provided to find the bridge.

15:46 video @ 7:01, dumping started at 6:52
[I couldn't find any more side-car dump action in the video. The rest of it is just typical railfan footage.]
