Description

This image is one in a series of postcards from the Reg Near collection. It depicts a view of the Sarnia Railway Bridge, looking northwest across the Thames River. The Sarnia Bridge served the Grand Trunk Railway from 1859 to 1989, and in 1996 a committee was formed to redevelop the railway line through St. Marys into a walking trail. Since its inception, the Sarnia Bridge has been a landmark and image for tourists, photographers, and artists.
