I’m always a sucker for a great bridge shot. And this is really nice!

Absolutely love this shot! Do you have any more pictures of Fort Saskatchewan from the same time? Anyhow, your pictures are fantastic, thanks for all the contributions!

I do have a few more around Fort Saskatchewan and further east on the North line. I’ll keep posting and I’ll get to them some day.

This bridge has a number of memories attached to it. Same with the track going right through downtown Fort Saskatchewan. The west end of the bridge being wooden seemed odd when so much of it is steel and concrete.
