On the pilot looking West is quite a site.

This river, culminates into one of the signature attractions on the line, the historic “ Crooked Bridge “ over the Saskatchewan River. Construction on the bridge began in 1928 and was completed in January of 1930. 

What the bridge is most synonymous and recognized for, is the uncommon double deck girder plate design, incorporating a 16ft roadway directly under the upper railway deck. This is a similar design to the Fraser River bridge in New Westminster, B.C. for comparison. The bridges total length sits at 1,906ft, making it one of the largest steel bridges in Western Canada.

  1. A great collection of photos. It is always a nice view seeing those two strings of steel coming at you.
