View looking north-east at the Deux Rivières CPR overhead.  This structure was completed in 1969, and has already been extensively rehabilitated.  The CPR beneath the structure was abandoned in 2010, though the tracks had yet to be removed through this section when this photo was taken.  With the abandonment of the Ottawa Valley branch of the CPR, all transnational freight traffic must be routed through Toronto.
