This is the bridge that crosses the 3rd Welland Canal. The canal hasn't been used since the 1930s, but the bridge, that was built in 1887, still sees daily use by passenger and freight trains. When the canal was in use, the bridge would swing open to allow ships to pass through the lock behind it.

Karen Limardi posted 12 photos with the comment: "The CN Railway swing bridge over the Third Welland Canal circa mid to late 1800's....around 1887. The span is a camelback warren through truss. Still an active track but no longer operational as a swing bridge . We hiked along the old Third Welland Canal this morning"
