In 1928, this culvert was designed to carry the load of steam-driven locomotives. In 2017, the culvert now supports fitness buffs, dog walkers, horses and snowmobiles.
The Montreal & Ottawa Railway opened in 1898. After becoming part of the CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway) network, this railroad was known as the M&O sub-division. The 1920s were a busy time for infrastructure upgrades, including culvert construction. The last train went through in 1986 when VIA Rail still used this rail bed for passenger rail service.
The M&O sub measures 91 miles from Vaudreuil to Ottawa. This culvert was at milepost 77. That information may help you find the nearby mystery geocache.
