Suspension, Railroad and Big Eddy Bridges over Columbia River at Revelstoke, BC

Suspension: (Historic Bridges; Satellite)
CP Railroad: (no Historic Bridges; Satellite)
Big Eddy: (Historic Bridges; Satellite)

Obviously, the suspension bridge is in the foreground. Big Eddy is the truss bridge in the middle of the view. The steel girder bridge is a railroad bridge.

Unfortunately, the railroad bridge does not allow me to get street views of the bridges from the other bridge because it is in the way.
