Canadian Pacific Railway Swing Bridge, Thunder Bay

The Canadian Pacific Railway Swing Bridge in Thunder Bay, Ontario, spans the Kaministiquia River, facilitating rail traffic near the city's historic grain terminals. Constructed in the early 20th century, this steel truss bridge was designed to pivot, allowing maritime vessels passage to and from Lake Superior. It stands as a testament to Thunder Bay's past as a critical hub for grain export, connecting western Canadian railways with Great Lakes shipping routes.
