North Bridgton was once served by the Bridgton and Saco River Railroad. One of the last surviving iron bridges from Maine's narrow-gauge railway, built in 1898 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company of East Berlin, Connecticut, once spanned Stevens Brook. It was salvaged by a private collector and is undergoing restoration by the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum in Portland.{{cite web | url=https://railwayvillage.org/explore/maine-railroad-history/bridgton-saco-river-railroad-bridges/ | title=Bridgton & Saco River Railroad Bridges }}
