Bordeaux Railway Bridge
The Bordeaux Railway Bridge is a railway bridge on the Canadian Pacific Railway line across the Rivière des Prairies between Ahuntsic-Cartierville, on Montreal Island, and Laval-des-Rapides, Laval, Quebec, Canada. This bridge is used by freight trains of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), the Chemins de Fer Québec-Gatineau (CFQG) and by passenger suburban trains of Exo's Saint-Jerome line.
A four-rail gauntlet track is still in use on this bridge because the horizontal structure gauge is not sufficiently wide for a regular double track.
