Abandoned bridge west of Scotsguard, Saskatchewan

This is right alongside Highway 13. It is an old highway bridge that crosses a railway and on the other side is a railway trestle. It is a unique design and I had to stop and look it over.


Nature has long since reclaimed the old road.




Looking off the east side of the bridge to the trestle below.

  2. From a distance it looks like a park ride...I love the discoloration of the close up photos. Great stuff!

    1. I freely admit to visiting places that bigdoer.com has been to however I did not know they have been here. I am beginning to wonder if there is any place Chris Doering has not been. My visit was a quick stop and I did not check out the underside. I read his post after you mentioned it and it is a good article.

    2. I think the Doerings have been EVERYWHERE... except in Manitoba. Soon they are going to take over my province too. ;)

    3. I have met Chris and he is a nice guy. If he does take over Manitoba he will likely be a benevolent dictator.
