Info on the CPR bridge at Lethbridge.

Before the Lethbridge yard location in 1983, it was mile 1.1 Crowsnest Sub. After it was 108.1 Taber sub. I think.
Bridge is 1 mile and 47 feet long. 314 feet high measured from bottom of river bed to base of rail. Some say 318 feet which is to top of deck plate grinder.
Bridge weighs in at 12,500 tons. Track grade on bridge is O.4% westward.
Sorry but I forgot how many gallons of paint used to paint it.

Bill.
