<<The Salmon river trestle, at 4600 feet long and 200 feet high, is the longest in CN's transcon system.>>

Wow. That being the case, what is CP's biggest bridge? (I'm wondering, obviously, if Salmon Falls may be the largest railroad bridge in Canada.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but CP has a monster trestle at Lethbridge, Alberta on their southern Alberta/BC secondary mainline (the Crowsnest Pass line). Somewhere in the mile long area and very tall. I'm not sure of the specific dimentions... but it is huge!

Someone sent me a picture of the trestle above with a blurb about someone having had to STOP, get out and walk back along the trestle to inspect the train..... Wouldn't that suck??

How about a picture of the trestle in New Brunswick??
