CN-Graham Subdivision MP 0
Video of the former Canadian National-Graham Subdivision bridge over the Mattawin River near Sistonen’s Corner, ON. This structure opened in 1924 as result of the rerouting of lines following the Canadian Northern-Grand Trunk merger. Canadian National Railways abandoned 26 miles of the GTP grade to the east and used the newly doubled Canadian Northern line (now CN-Kashabowie SD) to this point (Conmee Junction) to access the GTP grade at MP 166.

Port Arthur, Duluth & Western Railway MP 20
Video from Saturday’s hike at the former PAD&W bridge west of Stanley at MP 20.
This bridge is the last remaining structure on the railway, and was built in 1922. At the time, the line was part of Canadian National Railways, and was known as the North Lake Sub-Division or the North Lake Branch. It was the third bridge at this location; the original was constructed in 1889 and the first replacement installed in 1902. The last train rumbled over it in March 1938, 82 years ago this month. The whole line was abandoned in October of that year.
It was converted to vehicular use at some point afterwards (for sure before 1960) which it continues to faithfully do. The bridge is in need of some repair, which hopefully occurs soon to keep this great reminder of the railway operating well into the future.

This week’s episode of our YouTube tour of the G&LS covers the section of line south of the International Boundary (MP 0.62). Here the railroad crosses a small creek on a crib bridge. Remains of the corduroyed grade, the bridge piles and cribs and even a hand brake are visible.
