View of Mt. Holyoke from the Connecticut River railroad bridge

 

A vew of Mt. Holyoke in South Hadley, Massachusetts, from the Connecticut River on this postcard "New England Views on Boston & Maine R.R."  The photo was probably taken from the Willimansett truss railroad bridge across the river from Chicopee to Holyoke, pictured in the postcard below.

The railroad truss bridge is on the left, and was later replaced by a deck plate girder bridge.
