Some, such as the timber covered bridge of West Montrose, are unique survivors of once common designs. A few, such as the massive, nine-span concrete bowstring bridge across the Grand River at Caledonia, are visually arresting in their scale and form. Yet most of the structures in the watershed are “ordinary” steel or concrete bridges. However, close examination can reveal that they are anything but ordinary in what they can tell us about the past and present. And many, with steel trusses or concrete arches rising above the land have an aesthetic quality. Bridges, like people, have finite lives. Increased traffic loads, salt damage, and freeze/thaw cycles are some of the common factors affecting bridge life. These events are predictable and the loss of key bridges can be planned for. This is why an inventory, like this one of the Grand River watershed, is so important. The inventory can highlight structures before they become a crisis. With pro-active planning it may be possible to reuse the bridge in less strenuous locations, sympathetically repair rather than replace the bridge, or encourage the design of a new structure to be of equal visual quality to the one it replaced. But the inventory is not only for management. For those that have a hankering for old bridges, Arch, Truss & Beam: The Grand River Watershed Heritage Bridge Inventory is a gazetteer for anyone that wants to explore the area. You can discover parts of Ontario and the adjoining resources you never knew existed. Christopher Andreae, PhD Heritage Resources Centre ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This inventory was made possible through the guidance, knowledge, expertise and hard work of a number of groups and individuals, most notably including: Government of Ontario for generously funding this project. Grand River Conservation Authority for supporting and funding this work. Special thank you to Dr. Barbara Veale, Jeff Pitcher and Phil Lenoir. Grand Strategy Heritage Working Group members, specifically: Dr. Barbara Veale, Warren Stauch, Eva Salter, Pat Salter, Karen Richardson and Jan Liggett for providing invaluable and intimate knowledge of the cultural heritage resources found throughout the Grand River watershed. Grand River Watershed Heritage Bridge Inventory Steering Committee members: Dr. Barbara Veale, Dr. Robert Shipley, Karla Barboza, Chris Mahood, Bert Duclos, Dr. Chris Andreae and Kayla Jonas Galvin for guiding the proj- ect’s methodology. Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation for their generous support without which the design and printing of this report would not have been possible. Lindsay Benjamin for managing, coordinating and publishing this inventory. Melissa Davies for her invaluable research, photography, and editorial contributions. Kayla Jonas Galvin for her expertise and editing of this report. Marg Rowell for her expertise in evaluating cultural heritage resources. Amy Calder for designing this report.

Detailed Project Description Grand River's Waterfront Entertainment District ("the District") is home to two Northeast Ohio seafood institutions: Pickle Bill's and Brennan's Fish House, but much of the surrounding area has deteriorated. There is also a railroad track that was reactivated in 2016 by a short line railroad, the Grand River Railway ("GRRY") to serve the Morton Salt mine that actually runs directly through the Pickle Bill's parking area, creating a dangerous situation for negative interaction between the train, parked cars, and patrons entering and exiting the restaurant.

    UCRS NEWSLETTER - 1958 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── July, 1958 - Number 150 SOCIETY ACTIVITIES: For the months of July and August, the Society will hold outdoor meetings on the third Fridays only. The July meeting, taking place on the 18th., will consist of an evening of transit observation at Danforth & Coxwell. PAST MEETINGS: June 20th. - For the second month in succession, a total of 31 members attended the General Meeting in Room 486, Toronto Union Station. Entertainment consisted of a showing of movies taken by John Mills which gave a kaleidoscopic review of British and European tramway systems. ➢ Freeman E. Hubbard, editor of RAILROAD MAGAZINE, 205 East 42nd. Street, New York 17, New York, has requested that members of the Upper Canada Railway Society convey suggestions to him as to ways and means of making that magazine more interesting to Canadian railwaymen and railfans. A fairly large proportion of readers are Canadians, but he would like to extend the magazine’s influence in this country as a gesture of international friendship. NEW LOCOMOTIVE UNDER CONSTRUCTION BY GRAND RIVER RAILWAY The month’s biggest news concerns new electric railway equipment for two Southern Ontario properties. The Grand River Railway has a new 70-ton steeple cab trolley locomotive well on the way to completion in the Preston shops. It incorporates a small amount of material, notably the centre sill, from the scrapped No. 222, a light box-cab motor. However, the bulk of the material is new, including electrical equipment, cab and trucks. The new engine will have more powerful motors than those used on 222.

R E C OGNITION None. H ISTO R I C Industry and Commerce, Transportation, Urban T HEME ( S ) Development. T YPE OF Transportation. L ANDS C APE D ES cr IPTION The Iron Horse Trail, located along the former Preston & Berlin Street Electric Railway corridor, links Uptown Waterloo to downtown Kitchener. The entire trail, which runs between Erb Street West in Waterloo and Ottawa Street in Kitchener is 5.5 kilometres in length and connects Waterloo Park to Victoria Park. Approximately 1 kilometre of the trail is located in Waterloo, the majority of which runs along Caroline Street South. It provides an important transportation function and a scenic and historic recreational amenity for the two cities. 222 CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE or INTEREST The Iron Horse Trail landscape is a multi-use trail that closely follows the original alignment of an early inter-city freight and passenger rail line. The rail line was founded in 1894 as the Galt and Preston Street Railway and later expanded to become the Preston & Berlin Street Electric Railway providing service between Galt, Preston and Berlin (Kitchener). Expansion of the rail line to Waterloo occurred around 1905, creating important passenger and freight connections between Waterloo (ending at the freight terminal on Erb Street West near Caroline Street) and the region’s southern municipalities. In 1909, the Preston & Berlin Street Electric Railway amalgamated with the Galt, Preston & Hespeler Street Railway and was renamed the Grand River Railway in 1914, under lease to the Canadian Pacific Railway.
