Forty-five Bridge, WGN 55-01-04

Forty-five Bridge.

Hi Folks

On Saturday, September 26, we went to Fundy Park once more to walk some trails and visit Forty Five bridge, one of two owned and maintained by Fundy (Canada) Parks.
      Forty-Five is on the north east border of Fundy and accessible via a dirt road. I checked with the Park visitor center to see if it was safe for a passenger car. The woman said it was and it was about a 20 minute drive.
      There are three photos of Forty-Five: interior, portal and a side picture, with window. The Forty-Five view picture was taken from the Forty-Five window.
      Next, there are two photos of Germantown, showing the formidable steel protective barrier--no errant trucks allowed! About half of the New Brunswick bridges that we visited had one of these barriers, but only on one side. The Concord bridge in Cobb County , Georgia recently damaged by a U-Haul truck had a similar barrier but only on one side.
      Our next stop was Sawmill Creek bridge: see three photos: bridge, bridge with sign and bilingual sign.
      Finally on the way home, we stopped at the New Brunswick RR museum, in Hillsborough. I have attached photos of their entrance sign, a fire fighting tank car and a serious snowplow. There was a plaque at the entrance, commemorating a battle in 1755 between the French/Acadians and the English soldiers sent to round them up and deport them. The Acadians won and the English never tried to deport anyone again from this part of New Brunswick.
