Stoney Creek Bridge


Stoney Creek Bridge is a truss arch bridge in British Columbia, Canada. It carries the Canadian Pacific Railway single track of over the Stoney Creek, between Revelstoke and Golden. A wooden bridge was originally built on the site in 1885, and the current steel structure was built in 1893. A second set of arches was added in 1929 to handle heavier traffic. The original bridge was the tallest wooden bridge in the world at that time. The bridge and its locale have been the subject of numerous promotional photographs of the Canadian Pacific Railway that have gained iconic status. Among the most recognized are those by CPR special photographer Nicholas Morant featuring The Canadian when it was the railway's flagship streamliner.
