The original CPR Cisco Bridge was pre-fabricated in England and shipped to Canada in 1883. When the current, 3-span bridge was built at Cisco in 1910, the original span was moved to the Esquimalt and Nanaimo (E&N) Railway on Vancouver Island to cross the Niagara Creek Canyon, where it is still in use (now by the Southern Railway of Vancouver Island).
