Deep Creek bridge, mile 330. Always a thrill rounding this curve at night or in the fog. This wonderful steel bridge was built in 1920 by Canadian Bridge Co of Walkerville, Ontario.

Thanks for the cab ride!

What's the speed limit going over the bridge?  I'll bet that even if you ran the route on a fairly regular
basis that there was a bit of "pucker factor" every time you crossed the bridge.  I saw it from close up
once and it's definitely "high"...

Track speed limit few miles both sides of the bridge was 20 mph, so the bridge was 20 mph. Prior to the 20 mph speed change, it was 30 mph in the area and the bridge was 30 mph. Bridge is approximately 1200 feet long and if I recall 322 feet tall in the middle. We used to slow to a crawl with the Budd car and Rocky Mountaineer. Gave the passengers the same "thrill and pucker factor" train crews experienced.
