The Kinsol Trestle [Vancouver Island, Canada]
The Kinsol Trestle on Vancouver Island, Canada - near Duncan, B.C. - is an amazing architectural feat: an all-wooden trestle bridge with a unique design spanning the Koksilah River. Abandoned in 1979, this bridge is now a popular tourist attraction, allowing visitors to walk across, below, and underneath to marvel at its construction.

The Kinsol Trestle on Vancouver Island
The Kinsol Trestle, also known as the Koksilah River Trestle, is a wooden railway trestle located on Vancouver Island north of Shawnigan Lake in the Canadian Province of British Columbia. It provides a spectacular crossing of the Koksilah River.
Completed in 1920, its dimensions measure 44 m (144 ft) high and 188 m (617 ft) long, making it the largest wooden trestle in the Commonwealth and one of the highest railway trestles in the world.
It was built as part of a plan to connect Victoria to Nootka Sound, passing through Cowichan Lake and Port Alberni, when forestry had gained some ground on Vancouver Island and a more efficient way to transport the region's huge, old-growth timber was needed. It was not built, as some mistakenly believe, to serve any nearby mines. It was named after the nearby Kinsol Station which, in turn, took its name from a nearby mining venture grandiosely named King Solomon Mines, a very small mining venture that produced 18 t (19.8 short tons; 17.7 long tons) or 18,000 kg/39,683 lb of copper and 6,300 g (203 ozt) of silver (from 254 t/280 short tons; 250 long tons of ore - hardly enough to fill 3 rail cars) over the period 1904-1907 .
The line was started in 1911 by the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway (CNoPR) and while it was designed by engineers, it was built by local farmers and loggers, with investment funds from the Canadian Western Lumber Company, which was the largest lumber company in the world at that time. The trestle was never completed by the CNoPR, and the line only reached Youbou before construction was terminated. The CNoPR was taken over by Canadian National Railways in 1918, and its line and the trestle were completed in 1920 as part of the Galloping Goose rail line. The last train to cross the Kinsol was in 1979, and the trestle was abandoned 1 year later.
After a lengthy fund raising and with government support, the trestle was restored and opened to the public in the summer of 2011. It is now part of the Trans Canada Trail system which spans the breadth of the country.
