Duhamel Trestle, Railway bridge spanning Battle River near Camrose, Canada
The wooden trestle bridge crossed the Battle River Valley with a length of 4,000 feet and reached a height of 120 feet.
The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway constructed this infrastructure in 1910 as part of the Calgary-Edmonton line, making it the longest wooden bridge worldwide.
Local farmers participated in the construction process by transporting raw timbers from Camrose to the building site using their horses and wagons.
The structure served as a railway crossing point for 14 years until 1924, when railway consolidation led to its dismantling and material repurposing.
The railway bridge required 120 workers to complete its construction, with materials salvaged afterward for building and repairing other regional bridges.
