The railway sure is good at pinching pennies. We got to walk a section of the old CPR line leading up to where the train bridge was (thanks to a chance meeting with a landowner) this same visit and will post photos later. The roadbed was only a few feet above the water that this point and sometimes is even submerged (or sometimes totally high and dry).

The old railway bridges at Wardner were “recycled” by CPR and are now used on their Fording River subdivision running up the Elk Valley to the Teck coal mines.
