Historic Weymouth Train Bridge


Steel girders under the Weymouth Train Bridge.
365 Project - Day 93 - 4/3/11

On this sunny spring day in April we explored and enjoyed the view of a train bridge that has stood like sentinel over the Sissiboo River river for nearly a century. Built in 1914 in Weymouth, Nova Scotia.

It is now slated for demolition along with two other train bridges in western Nova Scotia. This bridge was a rotary bridge that could be opened to let the tall ships through. You turned a crank manually and the bridge spun around to let the ships pass to unload & unload their cargo.
