Went for a hike in the woods today and came across another remnant of the former CNoR {Canadian Northern Railway}. I found the bridge about two miles in along a splinter path of the Orono Crown land paths. I am sure many people walk across it not knowing what is below thier feet. From above you see a railing footed in cement with a long drop to the creek below. But when you go down to the creek bed you have a excellent view of our railway past. The bridge is marked as being built in 1910 and i know this section was removed in the late 30's. The name "Carleton" was carved in the cement on the top of the bridge. Not sure if that dated from the original bridge creation. There was also a cool little wooden bridge just south of the train bridge. It was built with logs and when you walk across it you can bounce up and down to make it move.

Added a few close-ups of mushrooms and my dogs name is Tilly and she likes to explore creeks and dead things

Nice find! I like the Tilly and the mushroom pics, esp. the B&W pier shot.

Here are some pics from my second visit

Such beauty - but hidden away from the general public. Probably for the best though...

hidden away to an extent. The path is part of the Orono trails however it is a dead end path and off the beaten trail that most take i assume. The bigger shame is in the fact that history is not promoted. I see no signs or indications that part of the trail is following a rail line. Parts of the line are close to if not older than 100 yrs. Even a plaque at the bridge would be a nice touch

Here is an image from today of the Cnor bridge on the Orono Crown lands trail.
