Description
A postcard depicting the Grand Trunk Railway Bridge in Oakville. This section of the Grand Trunk was opened in 1855 by the Great Western Railway. The Grand Trunk took over the Great Western in 1882.
Notes
Because this clearly shows the bridge having 4 supports, it is likely the bridge over the Sixteen between Cornwall Road to the south and Cross Avenue on the north, just west of Trafalgar Road.
