Railpictures.ca - Michael Berry Photo: Remains of the old swing bridge. CN 2286 & IC 1026 lead a short (70 cars) CN 401 over the Lachine Canal on an afternoon where Montreal saw sun after many days of rain. The train is passing over the supports that held a swing bridge before the old bridge was replaced during the early 1990s. Every fall the canal is partially emptied, allowing the remains to be seen. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Interesting history. Looks like it was a beautiful day in Montreal yesterday – I enjoyed both of the photos that were posted.
