Hog Bay Trestle Bridge
Tweet
Spanning the waters of Hogg Bay a great wooden trestle bridge was built in 1908 to carry the Canadian Pacific Railroad from grain elevators at Port McNicoll. 2,141 feet long and 50 feet high, it was one of the largest wooden structures on the continent. The pine timbers were 8" by 16" and pilings of B.C. fir were 65" long. The builder was Mike McPeake of Port McNicoll. Patrolled by armed guards in both World Wars, this unique and handsome bridge was last used in 1971 and demolished in 1978.
