Two CN relics. VIA 39 is deadheading to Central Station with VIA 905 visible through an old CN swing bridge which has been locked in place and out of use for about twenty years. CN freight trains used to use this to access the Port of Montreal but a new route replaced this one. At left is another CN relic: Wellington tower, out of use about a dozen years and rapidly deteriorating. The CN St-Hyacinthe sub in the background sees dozens of AMT, VIA and Amtrak trains every day.

    When was this bridge taken out?

    I’d guess about 20 years ago.
