Stoney Creek Bridge, Railway bridge in British Columbia, Canada.

Stoney Creek Bridge is a single-track steel truss arch railway bridge over the canyon of Stoney Creek in Glacier National Park, between Revelstoke and Golden. Its 102-metre arch span carries a 148-metre deck, and in 1929 additional truss arches were added outside the originals, widening each side by 1.5 metres.

An earlier wooden structure from 1885 was replaced by this steel bridge to handle increasing railway traffic through the mountains. The replacement became essential to the Canadian Pacific Railway's ability to move goods through the region.

The bridge and its gorge were repeatedly photographed for Canadian Pacific promotional images, notably by special photographer Nicholas Morant, who pictured the flagship streamliner The Canadian crossing the span. In the mid-1980s, television commercials for the railway were filmed at the site. The crossing remains a landmark on the Connaught Track, now used mainly by lighter eastbound freight trains.

The bridge carries only freight trains and cannot be walked. It is seen from Highway 1 through Glacier National Park, between Revelstoke and Golden, and from the parallel Macdonald Track bridge about 150 metres downstream and below. Trains are limited to 40 km/h on the curve at the western approach.

The western approach bends sharply so the track crosses the gorge at its narrowest point; this curve puts extra strain on the west end and limits trains to 40 km/h. In 2015, six cars of a westbound freight derailed here after the train lost momentum on the grade.
