Thanks for mentioning this Kailee. The old Kinghorn Line will hopefully become part of the Trans Canada Trail that is in development. I hope people will come out to the meeting.

There is an open house on Tuesday, March 29th, 2011 at the MacGregor Recreation Center on Lakeshore drive to discuss converting this bridge as well as 100+km of the king horn rail line into a recreation trail.

I tried to imagine what it would be like up there with a train zooming by and I think the sway would shake my confidence for sure! Thank you so much for your informative comment!

I grew up beside the trestle and if you think walking across the trestle is scary you should try standing in one of the fire barrel platforms with a train going by. One would never think a structure could sway so much and still stay standing. My brother use to ride his dirt bike across it from time to time. For the history buff the trestle use to be orange before being painted black. During the war years there were guards posted at each end of the trestle.
