Passangers and freight transportation was provided in this area in the early 1900s, ending shortly up the way. It was provided by the SFTM, which is all volunteer trolley service now, in Shelburne Falls. When you drive on Rte 112 from this area back to Shelburne Falls, imagine what it was like riding on the trolley. The tracks went right in front of the covered bridge. There is a C&TH cache at the covered bridge, one of theirs at the museum, as well as another one of mine there.
