== Spur ==

The article states "Trains of the Quebec Gatineau Railway have still used the Gatineau side as a spur, to manoeuvre into the E.B. Eddy/Domtar plant on Lemieux Island." While there is a set of tracks leading into the area, the split is closer to the Ottawa side meaning that trains would have to go all the way to the Ottawa bridge and then reverse direction to use the tracks. Even so, the tracks encounter a fence which is also blocked by storage sheds. The tracks are also overgrown so they're no longer used.

Rename

I suggest this page be renamed Prince of Wales Railway Bridge (Ottawa), as I believe there are plans to build another bridge across the Rideau River at the end of Prince of Wales Drive. --RealGrouchy 19:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't that bridge be in Ottawa as well? -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spur

The article states "Trains of the Quebec Gatineau Railway have still used the Gatineau side as a spur, to manoeuvre into the E.B. Eddy/Domtar plant on Lemieux Island." While there is a set of tracks leading into the area, the split is closer to the Ottawa side meaning that trains would have to go all the way to the Ottawa bridge and then reverse direction to use the tracks. Even so, the tracks encounter a fence which is also blocked by storage sheds. The tracks are also overgrown so they're no longer used.
