Lethbridge Viaduct 2
"Beginning in August of 1908, the bridge was completed June 22, 1909 and officially opened on November 1, 1909. It cost a whopping $1,334,525.00 to build. This bridge is still the longest and highest of its kind in the world reaching 5,327.625 feet long (1.6km) and 314 feet high (96 meters). In its time is has been described by some as one of the wonders of the world! This CPR rail line has stood the test of time and is still used today with numerous trains crossing the bridge throughout the day." Growing up in the area, there was a legend that the builder of the bridge panicked when the first train went across, and jumped to his death, but I don't see any references to that story anymore...
