Railroad Trestle Recovered from Edenville Dam

In the October edition of the "Log Marks" newsletter by the Sanford Area Historical Society, they included a brief story about a trestle that was removed and restored from the Edenville Dam during reconstruction work on the site in 2021. 

"It was given to the Sanford Centennial Museum for display. Originally 22 feet tall, the bottom was removed so that it could be stood upright (the bottom part of the logs will be made into lumber to use at the museum). It can be viewed on the north side of the railroad
depot.
​
"Missing from the display are connecting beams and railroad ties that would be on top of the trestle beneath the rails (as seen in the picture below). After steam shovels fill hopper railcars with soil, they moved up the tracks and buried the trestles with the dirt, taking the dike of the dam higher."
