international railroad bridge, sault ste. marie, ontario

 

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

 

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.

Looking south towards Michigan / the United States. The International Railroad Bridge was built in 1887 by the Dominion Bridge Company Limited and is an example of a Camelback Truss Span- -a Parker Truss design variation; the bridge consists of nine spans across the St. Mary's River / St. Marys Rapids, and features pinned and riveted connections, a-frame portal bracing, v-lacing support through out, stone abutments and piers. The bridge connects Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, United States. The bridge was originally built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company and is now owned by the Canadian National Railway Company. Black and white processing alchemy by Nik Silver Efex.
