To the left-an old stone abutment- Anyone know if this was another railroad or was it a road bridge?

After the discontinuance of the Montreal sections of the Transcontinental trains in November 1981, a tri-weekly RDC covered the Ottawa-North Bay-Sudbury route but a Montreal-Ottawa-Sudbury section of the Canadian did return in June 1985. It lasted ‘till January 1990. In its final days, the through cars had been discontinued and passengers had to change trains in Sudbury. – John Eull
