Uno Train Bridge near Miniota, Manitoba

Since we were in Manitoba lately, I thought I'd repost this video from summer! Uno Bridge- longest trestle bridge and a Historical Land Mark in Uno, Manitoba (near Miniota), is a steel structure that was constructed in 1929, the original wooden pile and frame trestle was built in 1907 on the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTPR). That bridge was slightly longer at 1,573 feet in length and stood 115 feet at its highest. It had only been in use a few years before it was destroyed on September 2, 1915 by a tornado.
The present Uno bridge is 1,533 feet long, a structure supported by steel trestles and spanning the Minnewasta Creek, shortly before it joins the Assiniboine River. This bridge is on the CNR main line, so trains cross it frequently, usually every hour or less. That includes the Via Rail passenger train, which uses this track on its regular run. There is also a double line just to the west of the bridge, for trains to meet and pass. Any train stopping to wait for another will necessarily be travelling slowly as it crosses which makes for a good opportunity for camera buffs to snap some photos!
