Historic Kinsol Trestle gets new lease on life from Cowichan Valley Regional District

The February 2006 report arrived as almost a death-blow for the historic Kinsol Trestle.

Built earlier in the century and last trundled across by a railcar more than 25 years ago, the old railroad bridge was painted by the government-funded engineering report as a lost cause, with advanced decay in the wood, split or broken bracing members, decaying fasteners and rotten timber mudsills.
