Caption: Not much of an 'artistic' photo at all, but rather a historical one. The view here is from the CP overhead bridge (CP Reynolds-CN Boyne) where the two transcontinental lines begin 'shared assets' northward. The truck, followed by front-end loader; is carrying ties .... this is the end of the old Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railroad line which extended from Ottawa to Depot Harbour. As the fastest route to ship grain arriving by boat from Fort William, Depot Harbour and the west end of the OA&PS was once part of the busiest line in Canada. In time, things changed; and the CN which owned the line after 1923 wound it down; and very little activity took place out of Depot Harbour area after 1952 and beginning 1987 the line was pulled up by 1989. A lot has been written on the OA&PS and the sudden death of Depot Harbour. Well worth researching. The old track bed on Parry Island from the Swing Bridge to the harbour is now utilized as Old Rail Line Rd. The swing bridge is featured in photo #33735 on this site.
