Trainsandotherthings: Your (correct) ampersand removal has prompted me to think about a better name for this article. "Providence and Worcester railroad bridge" could describe any number of bridges, many of them on the original P&W line rather than a line only recently taken over by the P&W. The bridge doesn't seem to have an official name, even in
government reports. My preference would be something like MiddletownâPortland railroad bridge
, which uniquely identifies the bridge without pretending to be an official name.

â All four of these are very awkward names for railroad bridges. The first two are ambiguous (there are plenty of bridges on both those railroads), the third is awkward and outdated, and the fourth incorrectly appears to be a proper name. None of the four bridges appears to have a formal name, so I think consistent geographical descriptive names are best. (I'm willing to take suggestions for the Northfield bridge - it's the only of the four that's in a single town, and there are lots of Northfields out there.)
