Item Type: Bridge Use

Place: Weymouth

Text: 101 was blocked & the Weymouth bridge went out so the RR hired Mercer Fraser to plank the railroad bridge up to the height of the rails. It was discovered that auto wheels were at the same width as the rails & there wasn't sufficient space to allow an auto to drive very much off the rails.
