Sunday Bridges - Port Hope

In 1856 the Grand Trunk Railway connected Port Hope to Toronto and the Atlantic seaboard. It's viaduct over the Ganaraska River was the second greatest engineering challenge on the route, exceeded only by bridging the St. Lawrence River at Montreal. This view is looking to east.

Here's another view looking to the west. I'm linking to Sunday Bridges.
