View my Alberta section of this page for the most up to date pictures of
The CPR's Bonnybrook Bridge collapse, southeast of downtown Calgary Alberta.
There are some extremely detailed Close up of the damage.

I decided to write this page on railway bridges after a visitor Arthur Grieve, Winnipeg, Manitoba offered to give me a number of railway bridge pictures that he had collected.
I again hope that my visitors will be sending me their pictures to be
included on this page.

	CP Railway Bridge at Nipawin SK CPR rail bridge spanning the Saskatchewan near Nipawin SK. This bridge is on an abandoned CPR branch line which ran to Prince Albert. The bridge here is a dual deck bridge. The rail line is no longer used but the car part is still in use. It is a single lane bridge with stop light at either end. I just got an update on this bridge from Marvin Torwalt. "The bridge has been used for several years now by a privately owned shortline, Torch River Rail. They producer cars from Choiceland, and points in between, to Nipawin on a pretty regular basis. If you Google something like you will see some grain cars derailed at the approach to the bridge although the bridge doesn't show in the photos. This happened last winter, January, I believe." This link will show you what Marvin was referring to. http://www.nipawinjournal.com/2014/04/16/car-derailment- outside-nipawin

	Ron submitted this picture in hopes that someone could identify it. It was a postcard that was postcard but it was represented as being in Winnipeg Clark Gray, North Vancouver idenifird the bridge as the CNR bridge over the Saskatchewan River at The Pas, Manitoba constructed between 1910-13. The centre span swung open enabling riverboats to navigate the river back in the early days.

	The former CN trestle at Mile 87.1 Avonlea Sub; just south of Moose Jaw SK. After the line was abandoned by CN, the trackage was purchased by farmers, which then formed the Southern Rails Cooperative Ltd. (SRC) and it served grain elevators from Avonlea to Parry as almost the first railway shortline in Canada. in time, the SRC now expanded along the Avonlea Subdivision into Moose Jaw and connects with the CN, serving stations at Truax, Avonlea, Briarcrest and Tilney along the way (view the timetable). In former days, the line was mainly traveled by light diesel locomotives, such as the GMD-1 and the GP-9. To run along the rails today, the SRC uses a Brandt Road Rail Vehicle that was built on a Kenworth highway tractor chassis and can operate on both road and rail.

Some channels and other details in columns make it best publishing this one instead
