Comments on: F59PH AMT 1342 is leading AMT 76 on the east track of CP’s bridge over the St. Lawrence River, just as F59PHI AMT 1322 passes on the west track in the opposite direction, pushing a deadhead move back to the South Shore.

Thanks. Nope, was built as a single track bridge between 1883-1885 and widened to double track in 1913.

And I suppose it is 4 tracks? It isn’t the length but the thickness of it that really amazes me. Twice as thick as anything that crossed Niagara. I should add that is a really neat shot, as well.

Hold on…. using google maps the bridge is a tad over 1.1 kilometres long, not including the portion over the Seaway.

It certainly is! I tried to find its length online but couldn’t find anything.
