Locomotive Engine 3666

[icechip]

Anybody familiar with the Boston & Maine Locomotive Engine 3666 that went off the trestle bridge in 1939 into the Piscataqua River? I see some threads here on SB where people have dove on it. I'm putting together a presentation about the wreck for my students and was hoping someone might have a decent underwater photo of it that I might be able to use. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This would be fun to dive. Any info on the entry logistics and the depth?

I'm not sure how much is left, but I saw this article about a recovery from the wreck last year.

Where is this bridge, besides NH.

I was looking at the Navionics boating app and wondering if it could be at least generally be found that way...

Edit:this the area?

Maybe this is it...

This could be it. I'm curious if the rec is diveable from shore. Looks like a pretty busy industrial area on Google maps, boat traffic can be heavy and access limited.

one of the articles mentioned it had been moved further out of the shipping lanes, but not out all the way. . . and its not very deep there. In the St Lawrence you can dive under freighters because your at 100+ feet . . .
