The Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway crosses over the Little Qualicum River on this 137 meter (450') long trestle.

It is used twice daily by VIA Rail Canada's Malahat passenger train. The Malahat runs northward from Victoria to Courtenay in the morning, and returns southbound in the afternoon.

  • Yeah no they don't use it twice a day anymore. And how high is it?
  • The entire E&N went out of business in 2008
