A (Self) Guided Tour of
Regional Infrastructure
Quite a few of the things it takes to keep a railway system operating
smoothly are not as obvious as the fine station and the busy
roundhouse. Visitors to Rivers might want to take a look at a few of
the sites mentioned here.
The dam and pumphouse site as well as the nearby Cossar Crossing site
can be found by taking the rough road that starts near the east end of
town. A short walk towards the river is well worth it in each case.
The beginning of Grant’s Cut and the Bell Crossing site can be accessed
by a gravel road going south from Highway #25 just southeast if the
Highway Bridge. That road also offers access to a trail that goes under
the bridge and along the east side of the river.
The remains of the Rumble Bridge, once the main route into town from
Brandon, are just a short distance from Highway #25 west of the river.
