Stone Arch Abutments

[I_luv_bridges]

Here are a few pics of a bridge that was once used on the CPR Laggan Sub prior to completion of the CPR Spiral tunnels. At some point it was converted to a road bridge, and although still standing, it is no longer in use. The bridge is located just west of Wapta lake in British Columbia, Canada.

Very interesting construction. I don't think I've ever seen a deck truss bridge mounted exactly like that on cut stone abutments coming off a stone arch. When was it built? The CP sure had some good stone masons back then.
