The 'Canadian Northern Railway' was a historic Canadian transcontinental railway created in 1899 with the merger of various railway companies. It originally originated in Manitoba and expanded east and west from there, in contrast to the major railroads, 'Grand Trunk' and 'Canadian Pacific', which arose further east.

After 1910, the railroad expanded east of Toronto, building countless bridges across deep valleys like Duffins Creek. Economic difficulties caused by route extensions in western Canada led to the nationalization of the company in 1919 and in 1923 to a merger with the 'Canadian National Railway'. As a result, numerous rail connections became superfluous, and double (parallel) routes were shut down and eliminated.

The concrete abutments of former railway bridges can often still be found today, such as in the bed of 'Duffins Creek'.
