Most Friday Flashbacks show how much our town changes over the years.
This one demonstrates how much it stays the same.
The aerial photo of the I-95 and railroad bridges seems like it could have been taken yesterday. In fact, it’s from 1977 — more than 40 years ago.
There’s something very familiar and reassuring about this shot.
Time marches on. But some parts of Westport are timeless.

A dozen “06880” readers knew exactly where last week’s photo challenge was.
They just couldn’t agree on how to describe its location.
Patricia McMahon’s image showed the badly corroded trestles of the railroad bridge that crosses the Saugatuck River near the train station. Some described it as Ferry Lane. Others called it Railroad Place. One just said it was near Donut Crazy.
Hey, Seth Schachter, Bob Knoebel, Jay Tormey, Peter Hirst, Seth Goltzer, Scott Brodie, Wendy Cusick, Dominique Dwor-Frecaut, Michael Brennecke, Andrew Colabella, Suzanne Tager Obsitnik and Seth Braunstein — you’re all right! It seems Ferry Lane West turns into Railroad Place right under the bridge.
Which, by the way, sorely needs a name. Any suggestions? (Click here to see the photo of the bridge you’re naming.)
