CPR no. 8, "The Dominion," rolls across the Ottawa River on the Alexandra Bridge about one mile out from Ottawa Union Station alongside the Rideau Canal.

The Alexandra Bridge still stands today, in use by vehicles and pedestrians. It is due to be replaced in the near future.Scan and editing by Jacob Patterson.
