In 1870, the Canada Central Railway opened between Carleton Place and LeBreton Flats in Ottawa. By the late 1880s, it had become part of Canadian Pacific Railway network. In 1908, there were major improvements to the railbed. Culverts were upgraded from wood to concrete.
By now, many of the oldest concrete culverts have begun to crumble. Despite the decay, the year 1908 can still be seen on the south face of this culvert. However, the bottom loop of the eight has fallen away.
In 1990, the railbed was converted from hosting VIA Rail trains to hosting recreational trail users.
