I always wondered what it would be like to be in the cab of a train as it crossed a trestle. Yikes. I grew up near a huge trestle like this. I used to go out on it all the time. There were side platforms to stand on when a train went by. The whole bridge shook.
i remember as a kid taking the train to fort macleod from lethbridge....one minute youre looking out the window at the bald prairies, next minute it was like being in a plane way off the ground. even though wed driven past it many times, it was a bit of a shock!
@NUTELLAISLOVEE thanks- I'm fascinated with this bridge because my grandfather worked on it being built, his brother died in an accident while working on it. I also like vids about the Gault museum (was a hospital my mom & grandpa were born in) :-)

after what time period do you have to change the rails and the ties on the trestle?
