Mounted on the railing at that spot is an <span class=\"s1\">8 x 1<\/span>0 inch historical sign depicting the Hotel Bridge in the late 1800s. Another photo sign showing the 1904 electric trolley car heading north on River Road is now on the railing at the Beaver Brook arch bridge where River Road is visable across the river. The Burgy Bullet train accident sign will be mounted on a new railing this summer at the Haydenville town line, exactly where the 1902 derailment occurred. A fourth photo sign showing the Mulberry Street silk mill in the 1940s will be mounted on a post at the site where the photo was taken. We (LCA) hope you enjoy seeing these reminders of Leeds history as you walk and ride on the trail. You may also notice more color along the trail side this summer.
