@Scs: There have actually been three railroad bridges; I've updated the article accordingly. The original routing and bridge (1848) ran directly from Buzzards Bay to where the south end of the Bourne Bridge now is; it crossed the shallow creek on a short bridge. The original 1909-11 construction of the canal included construction of a bascule bridge near the modern location, and the line was placed on its modern routing. The 1933 construction of the lift bridge, as you noted, only involved a minor realignment. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:02, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
