Bordeaux Railway Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bordeaux Railway Bridge

A railway bridge on the Canadian Pacific Railway line across the Rivière des Prairies between Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Montréal and Laval-des-Rapides, Laval. This bridge is used by freight trains of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) , the Chemins de Fer Québec-Gatineau (CFQG) and by the Blainville Line suburban trains of the Agence métropolitaine de transport (Metropolitan Transportation Agency).

A recently renovated/rebuilt bicycle/pedestrian bridge is cantilevered on the upstream side of this bridge.

A four rail gantlet track still exists on this bridge because the structure gauge is not sufficiently wide for a regular double track.
