Cape breton swinging

Description:Proposed bridge[ edit ] Proposed location for cantilever bridge across the Strait of Canso - generally the same as that ultimately selected for the causeway. One particularly troublesome interloper has been the bobcat , which has slowly forced the more gentle lynx out of its traditional hunting grounds and up into the Cape Breton Highlands. In addition, the causeway allowed several non-native species of land animals access onto Cape Breton Island. As a result, a rail ferry service was necessary so that rail cars from Cape Breton Island could be interchanged with the mainland North America rail network. By the s, the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation took responsibility for providing the automobile ferry service. The railway line across the causeway entered active service on Saturday, May 14, when the first revenue train was a 10 car passenger train led by steam locomotive , after which the rail ferry service from Mulgrave to Point Tupper was discontinued.
