This is the old iron rail bridge for the Beltline Trail in Toronto, that spans Yonge st.
Opened in 1892 as a scheme to transport people form the suburbs, a commuter railway was built. A 140 years latter and a new subway will be opening up on Eglinton Ave. that will serve this function, located almost parallel to the original railroad route.
Interesting that the bridge uses both rivets and bolts to fasten everything together.
