Does anyone know where to find dimensioned drawings of these bridges? I want to model one or both of them as accurately as possible from scratch. Thanks in advance for any possible help.
selector I am not positive, but I believe this is a crossing point for each railroad, near Boston Bar, in the Fraser River Valley. This is actually all CP rail that is visible, at a place called Cisco. I have travelled the Trans-Canada highway many times through the canyon, and have always found it amusing that one can see either corporation's trains on both sides of the canyon seemingly willy-nilly, but it must be that there is a direction consistently when sharing one side or the other.

Two seperate rail systems. NOW there is some agreement in the Fraser Valley( near Vancouver) where the CPR or CNR share trackage to haul coal to Roberts Bank, but this is NOT in the canyon.
The Atlas should be updated. The shared track agreement through the Fraser Valley and the Fraser Canyon (beyond Hope) has been in use for several years.
