About: Cisco Bridges

An Entity of Type: Truss arch bridge, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The Cisco Bridges are a pair of railroad bridges at Siska (historically known as Cisco) near Lytton, British Columbia, Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway both follow the route of the Fraser River, one on each side, and the routes exchange sides at this point. The easier CPR route was laid first; when the CNR arrived later they needed to follow the more difficult route. The area is popular with railfans due to the proximity of the two bridges (which allows both bridges to be taken in one photograph, sometimes with a train on each bridge simultaneously), and the easy access to the area (the Trans-Canada Highway, BC Hwy 1) is parallel to both bridges down the east bank of the river. Directional running in the Fraser Canyon means that both CPR and CNR trains may

  • Die CN Cisco Bridge ist eine eingleisige Eisenbahnbrücke der Canadian National Railway (CN) über den Fraser River, etwa zehn Kilometer südlich von Lytton, in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Sie ist eine von zwei benachbarten Eisenbahnbrücken über den am namensgebenden Streckenpunkt Cisco, der wiederum benannt wurde nach dem angrenzenden Rancherie der „Siska First Nation“, einer Gruppe der Nlaka'pamux. Die von Waddell & Harrington entworfene Fachwerk-Bogenbrücke wurde 1913–1914 von der Canadian Northern Railway (CNoR) errichtet und war Teil einer transkontinentalen Eisenbahnverbindung zwischen Montreal und Vancouver, die als Konkurrenz zur Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) entstand. Die CPR hatte die erste kanadische transkontinentale Verbindung schon 1885 fertiggestellt und querte den Fraser Canyon etwa 400 Meter flussabwärts. Nach finanziellen Schwierigkeiten 1918 wurde die Canadian Northern Railway verstaatlicht und 1923 Teil der CN. (de)

Directional running in the Fraser Canyon means that both CPR and CNR trains may be seen on both bridges. Although this area is generally known as Cisco, the actual CN timetable station point of Cisco is approximately 4.0 km (2.5 mi) to the east of the bridges. (en)
