A short distance to the south, the Carleton Place subdivision (abandoned since 1990) of the CP (Canadian Pacific Railway) crossed Moodie Drive as a level crossing. However, the Beachburg subdivision of the CN (Canadian National Railway) was built upon a significant embankment. A bridge was required to cross Moodie Drive.

The much older railway (the Carleton Place sub) began as the Canada Central Railway in 1870. Forty-five years later, the Canadian Northern's Beachburg sub was built with a bridge crossing the Carleton Place sub and Moodie Drive.
