Two concrete culverts under the former CPR Waltham sub and probably HER tracks.  The spacing between sides of the culverts looked like it could support 3 tracks.  I think in these places the two HER tracks ran right beside the CPR ones.  Both culverts are of the same style and both are labelled 1910 on the north side.  The south side is blank.   I just took photos of the Rivermead one.

Wooden culvert under the former Waltham sub just south of the HER Car Barn.  The CPR went south of the barn and the HER tracks north of it.  There is a hole in the culvert from the top - good place to get a bike wheel stuck, but luckily I didn't!  This culvert is only about one track wide.

Small steel bridge over Coulonge River, built 1887 by Dominion Bridge, Lachine CP (PPJ) on the Waltham sub at MP 69.0.  It limited the trip to Waltham to D4s or smaller. D4s were restricted to 10mph and A1s and A2s to 20mph.
The west end of the bridge is riveted plate DPG construction and then the rest is a truss bridge. The two types of bridging are shown in the right photo.  All photos by Malcolm Vant August 2016.

The former CPR steel girder bridge is still in place and is now covered with a plank deck and equipped with railings as part of the NCC bike paths.  This bridge separated two adjacent wyes.  One at Hull (Beemer) linked the Maniwaki Sub with the M&O (when it extended to Ottawa West) and the other joined the M&O and Lachute Subs.

Small steel bridge over Serpentine River or Crique a Bernard CP (PPJ).  This is a half through deck plate girder bridge at mile 62.11 of the former Waltham sub. It is supported on abutments at the ends, but it also has old wooden supports under the deck that are now rotted through.

Ray Farand writes:(7/2019)
"Seems to me  that I remember the current plate girder bridge being changed out in the late 50s early 60s. may be that the piles supported the previous structure and were never removed when the replacement bridge was installed.
