Description
Answer: The CP-Rockfield Bridge, Turntable train bridge (over the canal) :)
The sector extending from the Gauron and Lafleur bridges at LaSalle up to the entrance to the Lachine Canal is a peaceful area devoted to recreation and relaxation. You will be impressed by the CP-Rockfield Bridge.
Unusually high for a swing bridge, it was built for the Canadian Pacific in 1915 (No more in Use today)
Lachine Canal
The Lachine Canal was recognized as a Canadian National Historic Site because of its three major functions: waterway, provider of hydraulic power, and industrial aqueduct. These three characteristics enabled it to become Canada's major manufacturing center from the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the next century. The waterway and the energy it provided attracted the most important industries in Montreal and in Canada as it also facilitated interior navigation. The Lachine Canal industrial complex became an incredibly diversified "industrial park." Between 1846 and 1945, its shores were to host between 600 and 800 different companies, representing all 17 manufacturing groups of the 1948 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). These phenomena were closely intertwined and were interdependent. The object of this paper is to give a few examples of this interdependence and to show that interdependence went beyond simply companies producing for one another.
