Terry:
that looks like a lot of the bridges in Brampton. I've mentioned before that Brampton's roads run NW (a right angles to Lake Ontario) while the CNR line goes due west (right into the setting sun). So there are lots of bridges at 30 to 60 degree angles. Do you need any pics or are you beyond that now>
Other interesting note: Where some body other than CN paid for the bridge (e.g. grade separations) they were built for 2 tracks; when CN paid (rivers) they were only one track. There is one bridge that was between 2 river bridges and has had only a single track on a 2 track bridge for at least the 35 years we've been in Brampton. Until the expansion of GO Transit caused an extra track to be added in the last couple of years.
