Amtrak Acela Express 2193, enroute to New York and Washington, catches the last rays of sunlight along the bay in Niantic, CT. Looming in the background is the new span for the Niantic River Bridge replacement. Set to open in 2013, the new span will replace the existing one, built in 1907. The replacement of the span will include realigning the right-of-way slightly to the south to provide a smoother approach to the bridge.
