A great reminder of how & what was made back when nuts n bolts or rivets were the normal way of building structures

Forgot about this bridge! Crossed it many times when I worked at CN. Miss that job

Great photography! One of Manitoba’s hidden treasures. Worked for CN in the 70’s. Walked across that bridge while we were hanging cross arms and running wire for Signals. Grew up about 15 miles NW from there. I was surprised to find video footage of this bridge. And pleased you dug up the early disaster pictures.

That is SOOOOO cool that you worked on this! That's like a needle in a haystack coincidence! Thanks to GG from the MB Historical Society for the pics, really appreciate them!

Totally terrific Thanks for posting.

Interesting fact. The trestle bridge was just slightly north, the old footings are still there. When the new bridge was built, siding just west of it was flipped and is now the main and the old main is now the siding.

I Like the Look of this Steel Rail Bridge. Plenty of Strong Support Structures, Short Spans. Good Bridge, but watch for Rust.

Hey, that's only 10 miles from my grandpa's farm on the CPR line and by the two creeks and namesake school. Never was more than a couple buildings there. Yet I don't think I saw this trestle. But anyway, he had a water tower that supplied the train car for the steam. I don't know what years it operated. I have pics I took in 1992, the last year I was there. It was sold in 2002 when my uncle passed. I was also there centennial year 1970 and a few times in the 60s.

There may or may not be broken dinner plates at the bottom of that valley, thrown there from the train by my Dad when he worked on the train back in the 60s.

@fredmcneill2727 Месяц назад

I believe that this bridge was the sight of another fatal train accident in the late 1960's. I vaguely remember, as a child growing up in Virden, Mb, going up to see the clean up process of a train accident which I think was at this trestle. Can anyone verify this?

@scottfreedom9845 6 дней назад

The bridge you’re talking about is actually west of this one. It’s a lot shorter and the original bridge is just to the north of it on a private road. The uno bridge is approximately mile 185.3 and the other one is around mile 190. The mileage is measured starting at union station in Winnipeg and ends at mile 280.1 in Melville SK.

That appears to be a pile of railroad spikes, not ties.

I am embarrassed for my lack of knowledge of my own province and for someone who was in tourism for many years.

@DanHarperPhoto 2 месяца назад

I feel that! In my case it's the lack of places I have visited around the province that I should have by now. What did you do in the tourism industry?

Is this bridge just east of Rivers Manitoba?

@fredmcneill2727 Месяц назад

It is 65 to 70 kms north west of Rivers if you follow the CN line and about 5.5 km SW of the town of Beulah, MB.

Many years ago, my first wife and I drove out to Uno to look at buying a parcel of land there. We opted not to, but I sure wish we had, although I likely would have lost it in the divorce anyway.
