Robbins Trestle Bridge 414 on the Chester/Becket and Hampden/Berkshire County line over Blandford Road. In 1912 this wooden trestle burned. William Robbins had a steam sawmill under the trestle because the Chester and Becket Railroad decided to run the railroad right through his property. He was paid $1,550 for the deeded right of way; Robbins trestle was built of southern pine and was 800 feet long. Robbins used the rail to ship apples from his crop and also lumber from his sawmill. He had increased his production by having a cider mill, shingle mill and a stove wood splitter, he loved steam and had poor water power. The fire was thought to be sparked by the locomotive however the CBRR blamed Robbins saying he should not have stored his lumber under the trestle. It was a long legal battle and Robbins never recouped his losses. He moved to Becket to become a farmer. The bridge was rebuilt in steel.
