Bordeaux Railway Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bordeaux Railway Bridge is a railway bridge on the Canadian Pacific Railway line across the Rivière des Prairies between Ahuntsic-Cartierville, on Montreal Island, and Laval-des-Rapides, Laval, Quebec, Canada. This bridge is used by freight trains of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), the Chemins de Fer Québec-Gatineau (CFQG) and by the Blainville-Saint-Jerome 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.
