This Central Vermont RR line between St. Albans and Richford was closed in 1984 and subsequently abandoned when a section of another bridge (WM460K and WM460P) collapsed under the weight of an engine.

This bridge near East Berkshire is one of a dozen truss bridges spanning the Missisquoi River (four of which were for rail); it now part of the 26-mile Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail.
