Summary
| Description |
English: Mira River Railroad Bridge - 1876. A view of the Railway Bridge crossing the Mira River, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. Span of 300 feet. Although Sydney had a much more suitable harbour than Louisbourg, the former was frequently choked by heavy sea ice during the important coal-shipment season throughout the winter months. Louisbourg Harbour, which had been selected by the French military for its year-round ice-free waters when building Fortress Louisbourg during the early to mid-18th century, again became a valuable port when a railway line was built from the mines at Reserve to Louisbourg in 1877. This line was poorly built and was soon lost to a forest fire. |
