The Koksilah river Trestle. Largest wooden trestle in Canada. The Right-of-way south of Deerholme, BC. Marie Canyon on the old CNR line west of Deerholme.
Tyler, this is impressive! The long tressle will give me some detail to use on planning my layout for retirement. Thanks!
cool photos Tyler . I would not want to be going over that trestle with a SD70/75I , looks scary , it's huge [ 19 May 2001: Message edited by: DaveCN5623 ]
hmmmm. Maybe that's why CN only ran GMD-1's and G8's. I've got a picture of GMD-1 1030 with a single flatcar and a caboose running over the huge wooden trestle. [ 19 May 2001: Message edited by: E&NRailway ]
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>cool photos Tyler . I would not want to be going over that trestle with a SD70/75I , looks scary , it's huge <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I know. I'd never wanna take anything heavier than a GMD-1 over that bridge but when it was in use I bet it could have supported several SD70/75Is, however the bridge has suffered two fires and now it can barely support a human. Kinda sad actually. [ 21 May 2001: Message edited by: E&NRailway ]
Tyler, Those are really great pictures! I must admit, I have never seen anything like that in my neck of the woods Harold
Those are some timbers! Looks like they needed a whole forest to build one trestle Brilliant pictures, Tyler
Good Grief .... What a Photograph! I don't think my stomach could handle that crossing, even in heavy weight coaches Gulp Hank
Passenger service was limited to a Gas-motor car nicknamed a Galloping Goose(like the DWRG Galloping Geese) that trundled over that trestle. There might be a picture in the BC Archives. If I find it I'll show a pic of the passenger "train."
CNR Railcar no. 15810 on the Cowichan Subdisvision. The area to the left of the picture is now a cemeary.
Tyler, I assumed these pictures were on the E&N, but I see I am wrong. I am having trouble reading, since you have to scroll across. Great pictures, love the fog. I always thought the trestles on the E&N were worth the price of admission to ride the old RDC's.
