railway swing bridge, sault canal

The International Railway Swing Bridge--Sault Canal National Historic Site.

 

The International Railroad Swing Bridge allows trains to cross the Sault Canal; the bridge was built in 1895 by the Dominion Bridge Company based upon a Baltimore truss design. The bridge features extensive v-lacing and lattice for support. The bridge was originally a pin connected structure; however, the bridge has been altered in the past with additional steel bolted on to increase rigidity. The bridge was originally built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company and is now owned by the Canadian National Railway Company.
