“Beep Beep Bridge” threatened by addition of a third track that would require drastic alterations. ACO Halton Hills VP, Jim Walbusser, worked with CN to find a solution, which resulted in the removal of only four of the original limestone blocks. CN salvaged these massive blocks and transported them to the Town works yard for storage while a plan is devised to preserve and reuse them.
