Fabyan Trestle Bridge, Railway trestle in Fabyan, Alberta, Canada.

The steel bridge extends across the Battle River valley for 846 meters and reaches a height of 59 meters above the water level.

The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway completed the construction of this structure in December 1908 at a cost of 600,000 dollars.

The bridge design reflects early 20th-century engineering methods, demonstrating the expansion of Canadian railway infrastructure through challenging terrain.

Visitors can observe the bridge from a dedicated rest area established in 2000, which provides information posts and views of the Battle River Valley.

Three workers lost their lives during construction when their boat capsized, leading fellow workers to create a memorial cairn at the site.
