Welland Canal, Bridge 15, Steel swing bridge in Welland, Canada.
The Baltimore truss swing bridge spans across the Welland Recreational Waterway with two railway tracks and metal barriers at both ends.
Canadian Pacific Railway constructed this bridge in 1910 to carry the main line of Canada Southern Railway over the Third Welland Canal.
The bridge represents industrial development in Ontario, connecting communities and facilitating trade between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Local industries, including Vesuvius Industries, depend on this bridge for rail transportation, though service remains limited to specific sections.
The bridge maintains its original mechanical system from 1910, powered by underwater cables that enable its rotating movement for water traffic.
