This railroad is located in Tillsonburg, Ontario. The bridge formerly carried the Canadian Southern Railway over the Mill Creek between St. Thomas and Alymer with the Tillsonburg Station just north on Cranberry Street.
Underneath the bridge is a still running Canada Pacific Railway line that runs North/South. The bridge is fascinating as there are three separate underpasses, one former rail line (now pedestrian trail), an active CP rail-line and between them a tunnel for the Mill Creek.
The bridge is now part of the Trans-Canada Trail system.
Bridge Type: Truss
Bridge Usage: Pedestrian
Moving Bridge: This bridge is static (has no moving pieces)
