Hiram Creek trestle was originally built in 1875 as part of the Albert County Railway. It was part of the line from Alma to Salisbury. This eventually became part of Canadian National. It has been repaired and rebuilt several times.
In 1982 the line between Hillsborough and Baltimore was sold to a preservation group and became the Salem & Hillsborough Railroad.
The trestle was 44 feet above the road and was 209 feet long. It was curved and made entirely of wood. Each year before the start of the tourist season it was inspected by CN bridge inspectors and appropriate repairs were made.
The video shows the trestle being load tested and undergoing maintenance as well as views of the trestle from both the cab of a locomotive and from a passenger car. The S&H closed in 2004 and we see the trestle being demolished in 2012 so that the road could be widened.
The rolling stock from the Salem & Hillsborough Railroad is now housed at the New Brunswick Railway Museum in Hillsborough NB Canada.
