A field trip this beautiful Monday morning with two other true FS&K enthusiasts resulted in locating the actual Eastern end location of the 1000' trestle over Bridge, Main Streets and onto the high bank on the High Street side in Farmington. Seems when you get in the neighborhood, the local folks can still tell you a bunch. Will need to return in the fall with special equipment to plot the Western end more specifically. Actual landforms are still right there to observe, even with all the construction over the 110 year period. One of our group went into the office of the prominent Farmington person where the actual blueprints hang proudly on the wall, and sketched landowners and other pertinent information. This allowed the three of us to follow the roadbed right on location across High Street, around the Franklin County Fairgrounds, thru the current Farmington Town Garage, (Yes,nearby the roadbed is visable) along a steep valley wall and across the big fill previously discussed toward the Cascade Brook crossing. ( Which we didn't get to today). A major discovery of a, previously unseen by me, deep cut behind the power station still shows a 100+' wide at the top, 16' at bottom, probably 40' deep and more than 200 yards long trench that one can only imagine how a train could manage in a heavy snow year. Shovelers would have had to terrace several levels to get the snow cleared. Farmington Chronicle, March 2, 1898: "One feature has been demonstrated during the record breaking snow storms of the past month, and that is, along the whole route from here (Farmington) to New Sharon, there is only one place where the locality of the track affords a very bad drifting of snow and the proper means can easily be taken to prevent that." Now, we looked closely at this cut, and you can also. There is no way to get this cleared "EASILY". An eye opening day in Farmington along the FS&K.
