Looking downstream

The swing span is close to the east bank of the river; the railroad runs on an embankment to Riverside Drive, where there is another two span plate girder overpass. Note the large number of short approach spans on the west shore, in the background

Description 

Canadian National Railroad Bridge - At mile 3.3 Left and right openings each 75' Vertical clearance 31.1' Unattended

This bridge is still in use for railway traffic. The paper mill just upstream still takes delivery of coal by ship, so the bridge is also opened regularly. The river is wide and shallow at this point; the approach spans are all short simple deck girder spans.
