Picture is wrong

The photo on this page is not of the Blackstone Viaduct, but rather of the Providence and Worcester Railroad bridge over Mendon Road just south of Canal St. in Blackstone, MA. The photo is of the south side of the bridge with Canal St. underneath on the opposite side. I have photos of the arches of the viaduct, but can't figure out how to insert them.
It is correct that the picture is not of the viaduct itself, but the depicted bridge is part of the National Register listing. A picture of the viaduct itself would be nice. Magic♪piano 22:34, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, the depicted bridge is not part of the National Register listing. The listing is from the Canal next to Canal Street to the west, to the River next to Main Street to the east, and covers only the ex-New York & New England RR line. The photo is of a bridge on the parallel Providence & Worcester Railroad line, some 1800 feet to the west. I'm going to remove it since it doesn't depict any part of the NR listing, and I'll get a photo of the actual viaduct the next time I'm in the area.
