irishfield Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) With 4 hours to waste and a strong need to clear heads... there is nothing better than showing your kids some of your childhood haunts and going fishing as a family. The bridge is 97 years old. Wish I had of thought to take fishing equipment with us last month as well. This sport we all love so much made a huge difference in our moods for the works of us. After the visitations are over for the day... a picture tells no lies! lol Edited September 1, 2009 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Where is that Wayne?Nice to go back down memory lane at times eh. Hope everyones chill,n now. In 1912 the Smiths Falls Bascule Bridge was built to carry the Canadian Northern Railway mainline over the Rideau Canal. It is a Scherzer rolling-lift railway bridge and is one of the oldest remaining bascule bridges in Canada. Originally designed to be run with a DC powered electric motor, in 1915 the bridge was forced to be operated manually for the next 63 years until it was closed in 1978. The bridge was designated a National Historic Site in 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosebunk Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'd still prefer that the next time you're in the area killing time that you and Leah do it at our place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
