Two views looking easterly approaching the Sharbot Lake overhead that carries Highway 38 overtop of the abandoned railway alignment.  It is hard to believe that railway traffic on what is today only a recreational trail, was once heavy enough to warrant the construction of grade separation for a highway with such light traffic volumes.  The rails were lifted on this former alignment of CP trackage between Glen Tay and Tweed in 1971.  Today, CP's Belleville Subdivision is CP's only rail line between Toronto and Eastern Canada.
