The Eight Arch Bridge on Woodland St in Holliston, MA. I learned to fish here, Bagastow Brook runs under the bridge, and Factory Pond is across the street. My Dad worked yards from the bridge in the industrial park, my Grandfather lived down the road next to the single arch version on the same railway, so we were always in the area. I used to pass this all the time without thinking twice about it, but over the last 20 years or so, I find myself in that area less and less. So passing it, I needed to stop and grab some photos, so many memories there with both my Dad and Grandfather. I remember seeing a single-engine pass over it once, and it looked like it was too large for the bridge. That image always stuck with me. That, and I never once caught a fish there, yet we kept going back. Holliston has done a great job incorporating it into the rail trail for bikes and people to pass over it.

Always an interesting story.
