Photograph - Train Bridge Photographs
Description
This trestle train bridge is composed of a series of short spans supported by (in this case) steel frames. These bridges are commonly used to bridge deep valleys and can span across great distances. Often the bridge when viewed from certain angles, will look like it’s reaching to the sky.
Like our own lives, these train bridges rely on a strong support system. Thus giving one the strength to venture on.
This black and white photograph shows us a unique view of the Lethbridge Viaduct - High Level Bridge which was started in 1907 and completed June 22nd, 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Built over the Oldman River this train bridge is the world’s highest and longest trestle bridge, standing 314 feet high and stretching more than 5,327 feet (1.6 KM) long.
