In 1991, I was Track Engineer on the Saskatchewan
South District. 
One of our projects that summer was to convert the
Uno Bridge from an open deck to ballast deck bridge. 
We were given a five day track closure, which in my
career was an unprecedented work block for a core
main route.  We went to work immediately after #2
passed on Sunday evening September 1st, worked around
the clock for the next five days, and completed the job in 
the early hours of September 7th.  I documented the job in 
photos and attach a sampling for your enjoyment. 
Included is the last train over the old deck (#2), and the
first train over the new deck (train ID not recorded, but it 
looks like a hotshot of the day).  On the Saturday morning, 
almost everyone had cleared out and I was also anxious to 
get home after a long week. But I wanted to catch a picture 
of the first train over the bridge so I patiently took my
position on the side of the hill enjoying a wonderful
prairie morning overlooking the Assiniboine River Valley. 
As I waited for the train, I watched as the bridge's shadow
moved nicely into position for perfect timing with the
arrival of the eastbound!

CNR bridge spanning the Assiniboine River at Winnipeg. This bridge was built by the Canadian Northern Rwy.in
1914 and served as their main line until some time in the early 1920's when the main line was relocated. It was then used as a connection between Fort Rouge yard and the old east yard of the CNR. It serves no purpose now except 
as a museum piece. This was a drawbridge.
