1. West Warren, MA Marker
This viewing area, until 1897, was the location of the South Street Grade Crossing and was referred to as the "West Warren Common."
The Triple Arch Stone Bridge was used to cross the railroad tracks and the Quaboag River.
The tracks were lowered in 2008 allowing higher railroad cars to pass under the bridge.
Repairing the damage from the 1955 flood, the river was widened from 60' to 100'
In 1962, the Triple Arch Bridge was removed.
