The very nice woman there directed us up the street to a local shop (see review on Newport Transmission). They also have bathrooms, local brochures, and area events posted. A great free resource.

The Brass Lantern B&B is a great place to stay, and walking distance of the town. There's street parking available, lots of nice little cafes and restaurants to dine, and tourist-priced clothing and souvenir stores. The walking path behind the town is well maintained and a nice little walk to other businesses up the hill.

The full length cupola along the top is apparently the only one of its kind (used to carry away the train smoke). I first visited back in mid October 2021 and I'm so glad I did bc they've since done extensive renovation and changed the vibe completely :( I'll admit, the renovation is greatly needed - this bridge is a historical treasure and I'm sure they're trying to preserve what they can and make it still usable. But it seems they've changed it from a railroad bridge to a regular car bridge and that, unfortunately, has caused it to lose some of its character. When I first visited, the bridge and surrounding park area were largely unmaintained - trees and vines were growing all over everything, wild and unruly! The bridge was dark and ominous, with large gaps in between the railroad planks, revealing the dark, swirling river below. Very interesting and creepy experience haha! Now, on my second visit early October 2023, it seems they've since cleared the brush and completely replaced the bridge floor. It's no longer a railroad track - it's wood with a railroad looking decor. And they've replaced all the inside planks and boards - and are now working on the outside. So it doesn't much look old anymore lol! Almost looks like a new bridge entirely! There used to be a nice historic marker sign and a covered shelter near the gravel parking area but those are gone now too. I hope they're planning on putting them back! There's a handicap accessible platform to the left of the bridge that overlooks the river - very lovely views. There's a small dirt path to the side that takes you up to the bridge but it's extremely steep with tons of loose gravel - very difficult to traverse. If you go to the right of the parking lot, through the two tall pine trees, you'll see a little path up the hill to the road and it's much easier. Definitely still a lovely visit, especially in the fall with all the autumn splendor of reds and oranges in the surrounding trees. But the antique, historical charm is gone sadly. I guess things like this can't stay as they are without deteriorating entirely. The lesson here - visit these things while you can!! Never miss an opportunity :)
