Some times even trains need to wait there turn. Train 478 is just about to leave Fort Nelson and begin the 250 mile journey to Fort St John, but first we must stop at the river bridge and wait for highway traffic to clear. I don't think there are too many other operations like this on the CN system.

    That is so weird! Do cars and trains actually share that bridge?

    You bet, trains have to stop, whistle, and make sure there is no vehicle or pedestrian traffic on the bridge, then proceed.

    The main bridge coming into Prince George BC was both an Auto/Train bridge at one time.
