| 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. johnmacdonald@summerville-novascotia.com |

 | Minnewashta Creek Viaduct (Uno Bridge), M.P. 185.7 Rivers Subdivision 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! |

 | Canadian Northern Train Bridge, on the Assiniboine River, Winnipeg 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. |
