This towering railway bridge spans the wooded valley of Duffins Creek along the Seaton Trail in Pickering. Rising high above the forest floor, the steel trestle stretches across the ravine and creates one of the most striking landmarks along the trail. From below, the massive metal structure contrasts with the quiet woodland surrounding it, making this a memorable spot to pause before continuing along the creek through the valley.

The "Riveted" Railway Bridge on West Duffins Creek north of Pickering was likely built as part of the former Canadian Northern Railway Line between 1910-1911. Several high steel trestle bridges were erected across the river valleys. The Riveted Bridge over West Duffins Creek is the longest, measuring 259 meters.
